Saturday, December 19, 2009 - More Traffic Adventures

So the climate summit in Kopenhagen has failed, which makes me so angry I could spit.

Back home, Bella came back from Beijing yesterday evening, which was nice. Hadn’t slept well the previous night, but slept well last night. I don’t know for a fact whether it was because she was in the bed with me, but it’d be nice to imagine that was the reason.

This morning we went to the Wal-Mart for our weekly shopping. We took our scooter. When we were on the way back, we had to cross a road where the light had just turned green for us. That means the light for pedestrians had turned red. Three girls were crossing the road anyway. Then two of them saw us (and the cars behind us) approaching and jumped back. Girl number three, however, was talking on the phone, didn’t look up or anything and wandered straight into traffic.

She literally walked out right in front of us and I had to veer violently to the right to avoid her. Both Bella and I shouted and cursed at her. Which made me happy and content. We’re both cranky bastards together.
