To clueless on the cellphone walking her dog near the apartment

I saw you coming with your prissy dog
and I moved my solid dog twelve feet away
from the sidewalk where you'd pass by;
But you came my way anyway.
You brought your little sofa dog
three feet away from us and upset mine.
He jumped without warning, wrapped his leash around my knee,
sliced the tender back of it with the nylon webbing,
threw me into the tree that stopped him from running after you.
Did you even take the cell phone away from your ear?
Hey, hey! Watch where you're going with that dog!
"Not my problem!" you yelled back.
Right. Next time, my dog won't give way to your expensive
rug rat. Next time, you can fall into the bushes.
Not my problem.

Red lights

I had an idea yesterday waiting at a red light with absolutely no traffic coming from any direction. Let's go back to four way stops. When I first moved to Corona, I couldn't believe that there were double lane 4 ways, but traffic moved quickly and smoothly. Installing the red lights has created traffic snarls, wasted time and gasoline and ups my ire every time I have to wait for no good reason.
