So, apparently, the Powers That Be are kicking around a law that would ban people from playing their iPods while they're in a crosswalk. I wish there was a clearer way to ban people from exhibiting general obliviousness to their environment. There are plenty of people not plugged into anything who just don't seem aware that they're not the center of the universe, about whom everyone must revolve.
As you know, my small group of possibly faithful readers, I SWIM with my iPod; but trust me, I remain aware of who else is in my lane and where they are. I submit that I am far more able at doing this than someone who thinks it's a good idea to do the backstroke in a lane in which there are four other people swimming.
