So I am on my way home. I walk down the Avenue as I do every day during the week, iPOD on, nice long stride. There are lots of cross streets so I stand in front of the curb each time waiting for the light to change and then cross. There is a lot of traffic so you have to wait for the walk signal.

So I am standing and some people cross before the light changes. They ticket for that...little $120.00 ticket for jaywalking so I don't do that anymore. Someone I know got fined for it.

Anyways, I digress...I stand in crosswalk and observe big personnage lumbering across towards me. Now I figure it is his responsibility to go around me. I am stationary, he is moving. He should sidestep me and go around.

Well holy invasion-of-personal-space batman...if he does not come withing centimeters of me...like way close...like in my face close. We are talking...fucking close. Had I had the presence of mind, I would have said something but I was too busy not getting stepped on and knocked over. I scrambled out of big boy's way.

Now I walk this street alot. I am a local, a Berkleyan so to speak. You do not invade like that. You give people room here. This is the great open spaces of the West Coast. Manifest destiny...blah blah blah. We got room and we use it. Let people be sardines on the East Coast.

WT-everloving-F?!

*cough*

Due to technical difficulties at my mobile company's web site, my Hanukkah photo will be posted in the morning. I am unable to download it for you all here.

I apologize for the interruption and will put it up when I am here with my coffee in the morning if the site is up.

Good night.

I did light the candles and took the piccie, I just cannot get to it right now.

*swears*

Thank you for your understanding.

I am sitting here biting my nails because I am having my procedure today. The dreaded *coughs* root canal. The drilling, the grinding, the smell, the novacaine....the AUGH!!!

I really do not do well with these things. WTF is the matter with me anyway?! I am a weenie.

I go in at 2:30....I have a lot of time to sit here and worry about it.
