Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Moondog*

Fact learned yesterday evening while crossing Manhattan Avenue: apparently wearing some hybrid of a Mongolian and Viking helmet absolves you of obeying traffic laws. I realize the photographs are not great. I can assure there is a reason for this:

• I was crossing the street in accordance with the traffic signal.
• The above woman (who clearly had no intention of stopping) narrowly avoided hitting yours truly.
• Instead, she veered into oncoming traffic on India Street where she almost hit a motorist (who was following the traffic laws and actually got out of her way).

This is how you become a statistic folks…

*For those of you who are not in the know as to who this fellow is, this should clear things up.
