Yesterday afternoon about 4:30 I'm cruising west down Pine Street, no cars behind me, moving pretty quick past 3rd and coming rapidly up to 2nd. Ahead across 2nd, as I'm entering the intersection on my green light, I see a woman holding hands with two kids (around 7/8 yrs old) STEP INTO the intersection, into the lane I'm starting to veer into on her don't walk signal. I yell, "DON'T GO!!!" because I would not have been able to stop in time. She steps back onto the curb with the kids and as I cruise by she yells at ME: "Don't yell at me!"

WTF?

I skid to a stop, look up at the don't walk signal, point to it and say, "It says 'Don't Walk!'"
She says, fully yelling at me, "I am not walking!"
I say, "But you WERE going to cross in front of me!"
She says, "I am NOT walking!"
Good grief.
I say, "Don't yell at ME."
As I ride off into the sunset, she screams, "Don't yell at me!!!!!"

Seriously.
That was our conversation.

Other than that I'm loving our warm weather, it's in the 70's today so maybe people's heads will be screwed on straight again.
