Walking can be expen$ive!
Walked across a 6 lane highway and stopped in median for traffic to clear; stopped by 2 motorcycle police.
'Q: 'why did you cross the road there' . . . A: 'I want to get to the other side.'
Issued an $185 citation for jaywalking. One cop told me 'have a nice day'; replied 'you're not helping it any.' Other cop noted from my ID that I was a vet and said 'Thank you for our service.' Replied" 'That and 2 bucks gets me a cuppa coffee.'
Not cheap to walk at all, even if there is no sidewalk.
Yes, they are only doing their job . . . but sarcasm begets sarcasm.
Ah, tomorrow will be a better day!
