It was super cold outside this morning. Frigid. I get it, -25 degrees outside, that’s cold. Get the fur hat out again.
It definitely makes for a very cold walk to work, so I guess that’s why walkers don’t seem to have the regular patience to wait for the green lights to cross the street corners and continue on their venture…
This morning DR and I witnessed a lot of this, we even did it ourselves when the street was totally clear… but when I arrived at Bay and Gerrard and stopped for the light to change, this business man, wearing a wool coat but no hat nor gloves was standing across the road from me and decided to gun for it before the light changed. Two different sets of screeching tires later he stepped on the sidewalk next to me and said in a Texas type accent: “Juss Lack Niew Yiorka Citay”… Of course I couldn’t keep it shut, so I went: “No, they’re not that stupid there”. He just walked away and added: “Go fack yarself”.
The art of making friends is even stronger in the deep freeze of February
My face hurts from all the cold.
That is funny, by the way it is going be in the 70′s here today. Hee hee!
Was he tweaking? I love tweakers crossing a busy intersection. It’s like gambling without the guilt.
P & mt: it’s almost over… a few more weeks to go, soon we’ll have the warmth, humidity and gorgeous sunny days back
DR: No, there was only that one tweaker taking his chance against the traffice we saw earlier that morning.
