Lisa: The Saga Continues
Last week I was walking down the street with Hedda when we ran into Lisa. The three of us got to walking and talking about the weather. We told her about the burglary and my new bike. At one point in the conversation, we reached a crosswalk. The red hand signal was blinking so I stayed on the sidewalk but Hedda and Lisa continued illegally to cross. For those of you in other parts of the country, a blinking red had signifies that while it is safe to continue crossing, you should not begin crossing the street. I was faced with an ethical quandary of sorts. Should I run and catch up with them (breaking the law and endangering my life in the process)? Or should I warn them about the red light and tell them to get back? With every passing second, the quandary deepened.

As it turned out, I just stayed at the curb with my mouth open and my finger pointing up in the air and watched them walk away. They crossed the street and were half way down the next block before they noticed I was absent.
