fast cars

saturday night. walking the animals with the hubby. very few, if any, sidewalks in my 'hood. very few in the uber residential section. walking on one of the "busier" (read: not very busy at all) through-streets where there are no sidewalks. it is a 2-way street with cars parked on both sides but not filled with parked cars either.

we're crossing from the right side to the left side, so that we will be walking against traffic as we're approaching the section near the corner where there is a sidewalk.

i've got the dog. hubby's got the kitty (yes, we walk our cat on a leash outside - he loves it). i'm pretty much across the street and a car just turns from the main road onto this side street. kitty boy doesn't want to cross the street as fast as we do and is walking slower. said car decides it would be a good idea to speed up and barely veer to the other side to avoid hitting hubby and kitty.

this is a residential area mind you with a speed limit of no more than 20 or 25 max!! this dude in his audi felt it necessary to zip on past doing at least 40.

he didn't even slow down to pass and blew right through the stop sign. so typical.
