[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 547185, member: 6705"] Errrrrm. That happens a LOT around here, too. People don't just stop. Ever. And honestly, a lot of time I don't because I've been burned before - by rude people who don't WANT my help and I was almost mugged once by a lady with a baby. So... Yeah, we ignore it. Mostly. My kids' grandma is Japanese and doesn't believe in space - makes me CRAZY. Jett is finally getting the concept of "BACK OFF"... YUM!!! Want!!! I only live 7 miles from work. My route (in a car) is: 0.1 miles on my residential street 0.9 miles on VERY busy surface street (won't let Jett walk across this one and he is almost 14... Only time [I]I[/I] will is when we have 12"-15" of snow so no traffic.) 3.5 miles on 5-lane highway (narrows to 2) 2.5 miles on military installation main circle road (busy busy) Takes 10-15 minutes including ID check at gate... ...Or I could bike almost the same and it would take around 45 minutes due to traffic, add 2 miles of surface roads because I cannot bike on highway, and risk getting killed by inattentive drivers every 5 minutes. I drive, I get 30+ blessed extra minutes of sleep... [/QUOTE]
