So I know I mentioned practically taking my life in my own hands just getting my mail at the mailbox but I nearly got mowed down by some asshole in a Mercedes SUV last Friday night just walking the dog. Here again I want to emphasize if our damn street had sidewalks throughout the neighborhood, my near brush with death would be nonexistant.
I was out with the dog just at dusk. I brought my flashlight, almost as an after thought; thank goodness A said to take it! I was walking down our street (flashlight on, brightly lit) where it essentially forms a T with a connecting street and there is a STOP sign at the corner of the connecting street. I am walking in the street (no sidewalks, remember?) when suddenly I see this giant black SUV coming toward me and making a huge arc coming from the connecting street. Apparently asshole SUV decided to take that turn way wide (probably because he was not paying attention). Me and the dog had to jump (nearly dive) onto the lawn of the house I was walking in front of. As I watched the car continue on and I yelled "asshole, what the fuck was that?" I see the woman in the passenger seat with this look of shock and her mouth in the shape of an "o". I so wished the windows were open.
