I had some weather issues on my way home, late last night. It was dark, it was wet, it was raining. Nasty night. I make a hard left turn, and there is a woman just beginning to over the crosswalk. I didn”t get within 4 feet of her, but man was she ticked.

Normally, I wouldn”t think much about it. I would feel bad, flog myself quietly and go about my business. However, as the woman was standing in the middle of the street screaming at me, I began to ponder: Do you have the right to get upset about not being seen if you are wearing a long black skirt, a black shirt, a black jacket, with a black bag, under a black umbrella, at midnight at night?

I mean, please… A little common sense will go a long way.
