The bright, RED, round thing which is on top of the column of colourful bright round things at street intersections means STOP. Yes, you. STOP the vehicle you are driving.
Even if you are about to make a right turn.
If the instruction isn't quite clear, STOP means fully depress the left pedal, until such time as your vehicle ceases ALL forward momentum and is motionless. Only lifting your foot off the right pedal so you slow down and take the corner based on inertia does NOT constitute the STOP action. Failing to fully enact the STOP manoeuvre is, in fact, a violation of law in this Province.
Also in relation to the above, you know the little white lite-brite man sign? That means that the Pedestrians, that would be, ME, get to walk across the road. Yes, walk. I don't have to bust a knee to run out of your way, jerk, just because you have a horn and happen to think the rolling not-stop is a convenience option you have. Stuff it up your tailpipe, thank you.
In other events of today, I have in fact proven that I can walk and knit, while still being alert enough to avoid caffeine-hopped soccermoms (or soccerdads, didn't get that close a look) in minivans who don't know how to drive. I did also discover I cannot walk and knit IN THE DARK, as evidenced by the dropped stitch on the way home. Next week, we may progress to chewing gum in aerobics class, but I'm afraid I'll be taken out by the floor polisher.
Today's fun sock thing:
I wonder if anyone else in the RSC is finding their socks can stand up on their own? That used to mean they needed a wash, but apparently in this case it means Kaci's Inside Out pattern really has structure.
