I wish this badge was because of my keen attention to John Cougar Mellencamp’s lyrics but I didn’t post that in the What’s Really Happening FB group.
It would’ve gotten me banned like I did from the other ones. 🏆

Audio (MP3): 20180904 - Crosswalk of Certain Doom
The scene, of course, is my truck as I’m headed to work.
Driving along Riverside Avenue and following a Toyota Corolla. The speed limit is 35 mph and we’re both sailing along about 40. There’s maybe two or three car lengths between us.
Other cars are around but they’re only slightly involved.

But isn’t it the law that drivers have to stop at those crosswalks for pedestrians or bikers?

I’m sure it is, but at the same time, the point is that if you’re going to stop, don’t make it a split second decision. Like slamming on your brakes in front of a semi, you won’t win every time.

I might be misinterpreting it but it sounds like only when they’re in the crosswalk.
true!

I hate that crosswalk of certain doom. Maybe a little bridge should go over it. Or it could be re-routed to coincide with the stop light intersection. I wish I had a pool.

My kids and I cross that spot all the time. We don’t wave people to stop or expect it but people are nice enough to do so

This made my day! I haven’t driven in 15 years and could rant for hours about how the drivers in this town never stop at the line and constantly block crosswalks! People will literally see me riding down the sidewalk and block the cross walk anyway….

A STOP sign is posted on the east and west side of the bike path that crosses Rt 25. That would indicate to me whoever is using the bike path is to stop for oncoming traffic.
Illinois law states you are to stop for someone in the crosswalk. Very confusing!

TLDR; Always stop for bikers and walkers in the crosswalk. Problem solved. Probably…because TLDR

Well, that wasn’t really my TLDR but I’ll allow it.

I’ll admit to a short attention span, but that was similar to a short novel in social media terms, don’t you agree?

I do agree 😊 but my TLDR is more along the lines of “it’s okay to be agitated when people step on our toes.”

One second of distraction is all it takes. Hell I was reaching for cheeto the other day on a drive through Canada. Next second I had two wheels on the gravel shoulder scaring the piss out of me. Life is fun.

I gave my cat a Cheeto once. She ran off with it in her mouth like a stubby little orange cigar.

Some one pissed in your Cheerios this morning huh? Also a lot of cyclists commute in “racing gear” and change at work. But the car shouldn’t have locked up the breaks but if you had to slam on yours too it means you were following too close.

Do you ever find yourself staring at somebody’s eyebrows?
I hope not because then you would be a freak like Mellencamp.
In semi-related news I just saw three dudes picking out sheets at Super Target. I’d like to know how that lovestory ends.

Do you guys remember that movie, City of Angels with Nicolas Cage?
I’m like Dennis Franz’s character who eats whatever he wants.
Like three over-medium eggs on top of three toasted King’s Hawaiian Rolls. And then dashed with shredded cheddar cheese.
Because I eat what I want.

Where’s the best place to go in the Fox Valley to get Portuguese food? If you’re Portuguese, can we just come over for dinner? It’ll be Sara and myself.
I have two cats but that’s not really relevant. And they don’t like to travel. I also like to watch American Ninja Warrior while I’m eating.
