If anyone wants to start their week off with a nice cry, here's a story about two old sick men getting married: [link]
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think you can yield while still rolling.
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.

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).

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry ita ! Can you work from home today?

Yeah, I have a hard time believing that it takes stricter LAWS to stop people from running over pedestrians as opposed to, I dunno, more respect for the fact that you're DRIVING A CAR AND SHOULD PAY ATTENTION.
Although I'll note that I always think the most dangerous intersection I drive through on a regular basis is one by my campus with a 4-way cross light (meaning all intersections are stopped and then all pedestrians allowed to cross at once). I thought that would make it safer, but no!

This is Hysterical. I only have jaywalked as an adult, as, like the woman whose son was hit, the bus stops are half a mile from the crosswalks, but pretty much directly across from my house.
I grew up in the country, and I am not sure if you can jaywalk in the country. There are pretty much no crosswalks.
