Featured "I'll let you know today either way."

Near our house is a portion of the Cape Cod Rail Trail, and old railroad bed that has been paved over and is a bike/walking trail. Where the trail crosses roads there are stop signs, bike riders are supposed to stop, dismount and walk their bikes across after the cars pass. Supposed to!

I was walking my dog on the trail, a mother and daughter rode bikes heading in the opposite direction, the daughter - maybe 10 - out in front. She turned back and said "Do I have to stop Mommy?" The mother said "No, go on through."

I guess the stop signs are just for decoration!

Civility.......is out the window ....for many younger folks !!

 

Yeah, and what did the old folks say about y'all when you were young?

Perfectly respectable. Followed all the rules and never made trouble I'm sure. But I've read things.....

 

I readily admit to being disreputable and disorderly. Never did go in for the drunk part; I've always preferred caffeine to alcohol.

 

Don't believe everything you read.
