[NAGDU] Traffic check

[Tracy Carcione]

Yesterday, I stepped into the crosswalk and some fool gunned his engine so
he could hurry up and turn right in front of me.  Krokus slammed on the
brakes and got a Good Boy! And a big party when we got across.  The guy
clearly saw me there, because he speeded up so he could cut in front of me.
Illegal as heck, since a car isn't supposed to even enter the crosswalk when
a blind person is crossing.  Not that a cop would do anything about it, even
if one happened to be there.  Wouldn't want to inconvenience drivers, after
all.  2 people have been killed this year in this one-block area, but I
don't notice the police doing anything to encourage drivers to be more
careful, or even slow down.  Grrrr.

But I was very pleased with my big Krokus.  He was mighty slow though, next
time we crossed that street coming back home.  I think he expected another
idiot to come flying at him.  Smart boy.
