Metro Journal: People Pooper Scoopers

I was cleaning out my camera phone and came across this picture from almost 1½ years ago, when I was still investigating alternate bus options for work. The sign was posted in the front yard of a house on a residential street about a block from work. Just parse it by prefixing "Dogs" to each line...

Metro Journal: Crosswalk Rage

Apparently I'm not the only pedestrian who experiences road rage at the absolute lack of respectful safety shown to pedestrians by drivers. I posted about it on Ravelry in the "I Knit So I Do Not Kill People" forum and other people have similar feelings. As "road rage" generally refers to excessively aggressive driving, I think we need a pedestrian equivalent: Crosswalk Rage.

Metro Journal: Jan 5 Window Kitty

With no sign of a bus, I walked from Western this morning. That bicycle wheel is still locked to that sign. That must be some awesome lock. Usually the wheels are the first thing to go.

There are a lot of little antique, furniture, and/or internal finishing shops along Melrose. Something caught my eye in one window front. It was a kitty! He (I think marmalades are always supposed to be male) opened one eye half-way at me, then went back to basking in the sun.


I didn't have a very eventful ride home, not having to wait more than a few minutes for any one bus. There were 3 police cars stopped in front of a gas station on my last walk home, though. The police were all standing around one car, but I couldn't see what was going on.

Unfortunately, they had to put in new soundproof windows (they live a couple miles from an airport), so a little bit got covered.
