why me?
Right. Well. I'm in a bad mood.
Roller-blading went just fine with my ritualistic fall. It seems that i must fall every time i blade, or it'll be weird. So now Ray has a sore butt (nothing dirty), but that's not it.
I got caught for jay-walking. By some police officer who's as rigid as ...a p---- ... a plank. People Who'd lived here for a while would realise that there is a lag between the turning of amber to red light, and the turning of Red to Green Man. It's about 2 seconds. And it sucks.
I didn't know what it's for until today.
Actually, it's not for cars to come to a rest, they have the amber lights to do that ( and if they really wanted to beat the red light, who needs 2 seconds to slowly do it?). It's for the cops to catch errant road crossers. Like me.
It's not right. It really isn't. If you would just think of it, by red light all the vehicles would have either stopped or passed, except in a few special circumstances that leads to accidents. Uhh.... right, but thing is, isn't this subjective? Red lights versus Green Man. They grey area between.
I started when it was red light, the green man came on 2 seconds later... And i got caught??
So because the Green Man was hiding in that hood doing god-knows-what and was late in flashing, i was caught jay-walking on a road with literally no cars.
Yes, no cars. zero. nil. zilch. not even residual exhaust to hint at previous vehicles passing.
So someone tell me why da hell i was fined 20 bucks??!!
