I found out today from a motorist that WS has a period of acceptable
lawlessness. I don't know when it starts, but probably ends around
6am. In any event, at 5:40 am, it looks like anything goes.
Per this motorist, in the expensive maroon car, it is OK for a
motorist to simply drive across the Alaska Junction intersection when
the Walk light is on. Even when someone is in the cross section with
their two dogs!
Lucky for me, the driver was rushing to yoga down the street and he
was able to explain the rules of lawlessness to me.
Me: "Sir, you ran the red light. I was out there with my two dogs."
Him: "what are you going to do about this?", "It's 4 am, I can cross
when I want!" <-- actually, it was around 5:40 am.
Him: "Are you gonna blog about this?" <-- hadn't thought about that, sure!
Me: "Does the expensive car with vanity plates give you the right to do this?"
Him: "Would you have said anything if I was in a Volkswagon" <-- Hmm,
I don't know, does that figure into the lawlessness?
Me: "Sure". <-- Is it only the people w/ maroon cars w/ tridents the
only ones allowed to do this?
Me: "Are you lawyer" <- Maybe your vocation plays a part?
Him: "...." <-- sat in his car
I wonder if the driver really wants this lawlessness to spread out to others?
What will he do when the gang of Mohawk topped bikers hit the
junction? Not to mention shotgun wielding zombie killers that are in
the crosswalk.
I hope that the 1.5 hours of hot yoga helps him, but I doubt it.
Dude, Karma. Pay attention. Care more.
