Idiots out this morning!!!

Frustrating thing? These weren't kids, or bums, but appeared to be normal working-class people.....

Coming up to a stoplight in Tigard. Light turns green, the person in the left lane starts then stops. The person in the right lane takes off. I follow the person in the right hand lane, then my wife yells "STOP". Someone's walking in the crosswalk, completely against the light. OK, so a crosswalk is a crosswalk, and you're supposed to stop. Problem is....this person is dressed in BLACK shoes, BLACK slacks, BLACK leather jacket, and had a BLACK hat on....to top it off, his skin color matched. Talk about nearly impossible to see, and here he was trotting across the crosswalk against the light headed to his bus stop. Layed on the horn and yelled "idiot" out the window after we let him by.

Three intersections later. Light turns green, start to pull out.....and ZOOM a decked out bicyclist on some sort of skinny tired racing bike blew across the intersection right in front of us!!! What is going on!!!!!

Then, the final piece de resistance for the morning commute; coming downtown on Naito Parkway (sorry, it will always be Front to me), a young lady dressed in an all black running outfit; tights, shirt, and stocking cap, jogged right across in front of us...NOT even in a crosswalk. Hammered on the horn and she kept running.

Gosh, headed in 30 minutes earlier than normal today, won't do that again. Glad to make it to work!!
