There’s a lunch spot at the top of the T but I have to cross the stem of the T to reach the top of the T.
Why are they doubling my chances to get hit when they could just add another crosswalk and let me cross one street instead of two? Are they stupid?

stupid is thinking a crosswalk prevents you from getting hit by a car :/

… there was a crosswalk, it didn’t prevent them from getting hit. thanks for backing up my claim.
Yup
Don’t be silly, that’s what the brick is for!
No, but a crosswalk does add a little energy to the totally natural swing of my umbrella.
And, yeah, maybe I’m just better off crossing on the unprotected side…
