Looking on the Bright Side
by SciFi Chick » Thu Oct 20, 2016 1:59 am
Today is the 35th anniversary of when I got hit by a car, had to spend five weeks in traction and six months in two casts. No matter what crap I'm going through right now, it's a better day.

Happy anniversary.
Don't do it (get hit by a car) again.

That's my plan. It's why I would suck at being a pedestrian in NYC.

I still cross streets like that (I grew up in NYC). You have to remember it (crossing the street) is a competitive sport.

yes, it is. I remember the occasional pedestrian revolt - a bunch of people, tired of waiting for the light to change just crossing and stopping traffic.
I miss my city.
and happy anniversary, sfc. many more happy, healthy ones.

come gentle night. come loving black browed night
give me my romeo. and when he shall die
take him and cut him out in little stars
and he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garish sun. william shakespeare
