 Norma's Wanderings around a small section of Montana |
I try to walk as much as possible. On Saturdays I usually walk to church. 4 blocks, not hard. I like the ease of going on foot. My one bug-a-boo is crossing Main Street. The Main Street in Roundup is actually a State Highway, Rt 87, North and South. In my neck of the woods, from Billings S to Lewistown N. About an hour in either direction. So traffic is getting to be quite heavy. The speed limit is 25. Yeah, whatever. Weekends are usually quiet. Today I went to the corner of 6th Ave and Main Street. Catholic Church on my right, house on the left. Across Main Street is the Baptist church and their youth center, taking both sides of the avenue. I wait, see nothing but a little red car coming up Main Street from the right. 'I have enough time to cross' I think. So I take off across 4 lanes of highway. Then suddenly here comes this red car - straight at me - I start waving my hands - shouting 'STOP' - and the twit in that car barrels on by me. No acknowledgment of me, the fact that she almost hit me. No stopping at all. SO, a big prayer to Jesus as I got to the other side. Two men at the Baptist church yelled to me. "Did you know that person?" I walked over to them and complain, tell them how I feel so blessed to be alive. Then I continue on a few more blocks to church. My word. You just never know. Watch for people crossing streets at CROSSWALKS.  for pedestrians. Drive the SPEED LIMIT. And always thank the Lord you make it safely back home. |
