I forgot to add a big reason why I hate the lamppost near our house is now usually turned off. I was not conscious of the fact that I use it to see where the house is. I have always known, if not aware, that the house right before the light was ours. Now that that streetlamp is dark when I get to my house, it takes me a few seconds before I realize I have to figure out which house is ours on my own. That has made me hesitate several times, suddenly braking when I thought I was about to pass the house, only to speed up after I see that it's just one of the houses before, then braking again when I'm actually at our house.
Now I know how important that is -- not just for my safety, but for my orientation.
The streetlight has something to do with whether you like chicks or dudes?
ReplyDeleteOK, let me rewrite the last sentence: "Now I know how important that is -- not for knowing where the hell am I, but also for avoiding a fucking accident.
ReplyDelete(Although, the way my love life is going, I should question my orientation regardless of the streetlight.)
