Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From that article sumi linked to:

A 2010 state law requires drivers to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. The previous law required drivers to yield and stop when necessary.

What precisely does that mean? I mean, how can you not have to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think you can yield while still rolling.

If anyone wants to start their week off with a nice cry, here's a story about two old sick men getting married: [link]

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Too early to know. It may not change things much the part I work in, I don't really know.

Good luck!

I thought yield meant stop if required, go if not. Slowing down is allowed? Woohah!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I don't get how "DON'T RUN PEOPLE OVER" requires any level of clarification, really.

First day back at work, bleh. Also, I was up at 5am with the baby. Woo hoo all around.

There is also that.

When I was a kid, I really believed that if you got hit by a car in the crosswalk it was the driver's fault, but if you weren't in the crosswalk, it was your fault. So I would still jaywalk, but usually close enough to the crosswalk that I could imagine dragging my broken body into it, so I wouldn't get in trouble. WTF, kid?

Just being practical. I admire that.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercial where the squares lick and then eat each other is creepy. Cannibalistic cereal.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

How tall is Christian Kane?

My best guess from standing next to him is 5'7" (plus the 2 inch heels he was wearing at the time).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

When I was a kid, I really believed that if you got hit by a car in the crosswalk it was the driver's fault, but if you weren't in the crosswalk, it was your fault.

I recall this as well. I think it used to be law in some states - or a version of it. Then too, I was a jaywalking fool when I was a teenager.
