It's Pedestrian Season!!!
It's Pedestrian Season again!! Not entirely unlike Deer Season, pedestrians also have their special time of the year. Except, instead of instincts being driven by mating, these instincts are driven by the temperature.
In most liberal cities, like Ann Arbor, pedestrians begin hitting the black top in droves as soon as the high temperatures of the day hit about 30-degrees (F). Not all pedestrians are traffic saavy, so you have to keep your eyes peeled--especially for the ones that dart out from behind trees or bushes and wear brown-to-grey apparel.
I noticed an increase in foot-traffic this morning and reminded myself to watch closely for illegal-crossing pedestrians. However, I did NOT notice a pedestrian hiding behind a telephone pole wearing all brown. I pulled out to turn right and noticed a figure bouncing off my right fender. He did a little twirl in the air and ran around behind my truck.
Needless to say, I was slightly shaken up.
The pedestrian, however, seemed fine and continued running down the road.
