Damn tourists!

While visiting with friends down at the pub on
Saturday night, the talk turned to locals verses
tourists and one friends latest experience with the
town council meetings.

It seems that one of our elder citizens is seriously
irate about the "rampant jaywalking" that goes on in
town...

RAMPANT JAYWALKING!

having lived in San Francisco the past few years where
almost all walking is jaywalking and everything seems
rampant, I haven't stopped laughing about this for 4
days.

In all fairness, during tourist season and during
street fairs, its kind of a bitch to get around, and
there are a lot of folks who just cross when and where
they feel like it - but we only have one main street
and the speed limit is 35 and really on a bad day we
are talking like a 35 second pause.
