A random assortment of my daily activities and ponderings. Maybe it will be boring, maybe it will be mind-blowingly exhiliarting. It is a grand experiment in exploring the brilliance of this thing those crazy kids are calling the "World Wide Web".

UNC: Pedestrians Not Welcome

Okay, so I guess Yield for Heels isn't working.... from the Daily Tar Heel:

"At 6:39 p.m. Monday, an unidentified man was hit while crossing the 400 block of Franklin Street. Twenty minutes later, 54-year-old Arthur MClean lost his life while walking across U.S. 15-501.

Tuesday brought a second fatality, when Harry Weldon Alston, who was riding his bike, collided with a bus carrying the Boston College men's basketball team on N.C. 54.

And Wednesday's incidents might hit even closer to home for many University students.

Rita Lauria, a law student at UNC, was struck by a vehicle while crossing Ridge Road within a marked crosswalk...

At 8:20 p.m. UNC psychology professor David Galinsky was hit and killed while walking across Fordham Boulevard on his way to the Smith Center."

Yeah, that's 5 in 3 days. We're dropping like flies!
