As a child I used to stand on a corner, waiting. Gazing at the corner diagonal from me, I waited for the light to change, knowing I'd have to wait again, after I crossed the first street. "Wouldn't it be wonderful if all the lights would turn red, and people could just dash any way they chose?" I'd think.
Of course it would! About a week ago I got to use one of those handy dandy cross walks that allows you to walk diagonally. Pretty neat stuff. :)
