text: Dear Gus,
  It was a normal day, but sunny as you mention.  I don't tend to bottle things up, as may be obvious and I'm not even slightly entitled; more of a Calvinist, actually.  I simply have no respect - not a sliver - for people who make THEIR safety someone else's problem.  That extends to drivers, cyclists - the runners of reds, the wrong-wayers, and the casual cutter-offers of cars, peds, and me (worst of all!), the speedy riders on sidewalks - and peds equally.  
  
  Similarly, I don't impose on others' rights of way.  That means i don't blast through a gaggle of peds crossing the street lawfully (at a crossing, the only place it's actually legal for a ped to set foot on a roadway), run through a red like it's not there, go the wrong way up a road, change my positioning in a lane in rush hour without knowing what's beside/behind me, etc.  But i don't tolerate people imposing their will on my rights without saying something about it.  Just like now.
