OK, it happened to me again, yesterday. I was getting ready to cross the street- no one was coming- except for the car that just pulled out of the spot by the curb and almost hit me. One of those danged electric cars that makes no sounds. (I admit it; I was on the curb- but there is a clearly marked pedestrian crossing, which in this area means- STOP if I am on the curb. But, of course, Mr. SaveTheEnvironment (actually it was a Ms.) obviously only cares about non-human things.)
