Summer is here...
so much to do
so much to worry about
if we are not worried about entertaining our children
we are worried about the well being of our children
this morning I cussed at a dozen car commuters

PHONE USAGE WHILE DRIVING!
TEXTING WHILE DRIVING!

my boys are riding their bikes to and from school
not everyday... but more frequently
it scares me
the streets are dangerous
car drivers fail to see me
car drivers fail to drive safely around me
car drivers sucks
people suck
I am scared... yet I think it is better for the kids to ride their bikes than to become part of our car dependent culture
walking and biking are rational forms of transportation
driving everywhere is irrational
so much to worry about

DOING IT WRONG!
the way people drive is WRONG!
their speed
their speed
their inability to make complete stops at the stop lines
their failure to look for pedestrians and cyclists
their failure to yield to pedestrians and cyclists
THEY ARE DOING IT WRONG!
What can you do?
you can do it right... you can help those around you to do it right
Neighborhood Pace Car is the sort of logic that we need to follow here
if we all spent just a little more time policing ourselves... we would need fewer police
