pedestrian ...

I feel really bad about this ... and I know I shouldn't have run the yellow light on K St during rush hour this past Thursday night. I was already running late for a midterm and I hit a pedestrian ...

Not with my car! I actually ripped her headphones out with my handlebars as I narrowly veered my bike away from a head on collision into her. Frankly, I think she deserved it ... sure I shouldn't have taken the risk but I'm rather peeved by people who have their iPods up so loud, they can't hear furious bell ringing/or honking as a Mack truck barrels into them, or less dramatic, me on my slim little bike avoiding somersaulting into my asphalt death.

Even Victorians acknowledge this is a problem.
