Comment on Gordon Lightfoot and me, yesterday and today by Thomas Edison

Is it really a revelation to you that years go by and people age? Hey, have you picked up on the fact that it’s warmer in the Summer than it is in the Winter? Or that it is darker at night than it is in the day?

Interesting that he died in such close proximity to Donna Summer. Two members of the Disco royalty passing on after their “last dance.”
I didn’t like disco per se, but I think the Bee Gees “Saturday Night Fever” tracks are among the better things pop music has done. I can’t hear them without fixing myself at a certain time in a particular place. It was not a happy time, but it was real and important. And their music was the notable background to it.

This reminded me of a news item I saw today. Al Jarreau cancelled a concert here in San Diego yesterday due to fatigue and pneumonia. He is 72 years old.

Comment on Crosswalk Empire by What I Desired To Say

I’m all for it IF the cops are also handing out tickets for improper lookout when they almost hit a pedestrian, who in Utah at least, ALWAYS have the right of way, EVEN IF they are jaywalking and especially when they are in the crosswalk during the prescribed walking period. I can’t tell you how many times, I’ve almost been hit by jackasses that think they can make that right turn ahead of me even when they been sitting at the light the entire time I’ve been waiting for the light to change.

Jaywalking is an art. Too many people are painting stick figures when they do it. If I do it, any cars in the road don’t have to slow down. I know how to pick my spots.

But what if those jaywalkers are future Beatles types? Then you have to stop for them.

Amanda,
Thanks for your comments, which inspired me to correct some typos I found when I reread my post — and to rewrite and expand the ending with a bit more though about poor Mister Lobster!
