..i haven't gone out yet..

still finishing off a nice mug of tea [no milk.....]


yes kerbs are a theoretical risk..

[at least one recorded instance of impact of stubbing the toes causing death
from percussive brain damage..!!!]

and thanks for the reminder...

but..

i've already so far survived nearly 1/2 a century
as an active and fit pedestrian and cyclist
by learning to keep eyes and ears wide open
monitoring
for approaching halfwits in vehicles too powerful
for their limited driving abilities, social awareness.. or inteligence..


BTW.. last night me and the mrs watched a movie double bill
for a bit of a laugh

"the fast and the furious"
and its sequel "2 fast and 2 furious" ..

..we both fell asleep during a monotonous extended car chase
in the 2nd movie..

but at least the producers payed lip service to including
a 'disclaimer' road safety advice message
in the closing titles..

we'll try to finish off watching it tonight..
