Funny, all the college kids in St Louis drive. There is not much to walk to from the two big campuses, Wash U and SLU. Still, there are plenty of beaters hooked up at racks for on-campus travel.

If they get in my way and I'm on the road I'll graze them. If they are in a cross walk I'll stop. But if they are just crossing in front of me I'll get super close and scare the crap out of them. I don't even use the bike lanes any more cause everyone parks there to drop people off. Eh, I'm definately not for bike lanes any more because of how the only one's I've seen work. They should only be on the major 45mph roads or faster and extra wide.

hrm. When I went to UTD (Jeez. Has it already been over 10 years? oi) the campus, at night, was completely dead. Since I worked at the Center for Space Sciences doing ionospheric research, I was there at night alot. I was also part of the gaming (RPGs, etc) crowd.

Mel who was was part of the 2nd year of Freshman ever to go to UTD.
