Every morning, I get up at 5AM, and walk 5K.

1/2 mile of it, is on the local high school running track.

That’s because the neighborhood after the high school (where I would prefer to walk) is actively hostile to pedestrians. No sidewalks, no shoulders, lots of blind curves, and a ton of distracted drivers. It’s dangerous as hell.

In fact, I often smell weed, when cars pass me.

At 5:30 AM.

That’s a great way to get started on a productive day.




Or folks coming off a night shift...


They are heading towards the train station (not away from it).

In any case, it doesn’t matter. They are DUI. Pot may be a bit better than alcohol, but I’ve seen some … interesting … decisions made by drivers on it.

No one would drive around sipping on a can of beer, but no one thinks twice about blazing 420 behind the wheel.
