I swear, that will be the last thing I hear before I die because the odds of getting hit by a car rolling a red stop sign in Halifax get higher each days.

It’s crazy out there kids!

No joke, in the last week (I’ve run every day because I am doing that #RWRunStreak) I’ve been almost hit every.single.day.

Yes, I run in the dark (usually before 6:30 am).
Yes, I wear a reflective vest.

Actually, on Saturday morning around 8:30 am (not dark), I had to skirt around a police car that stopped at a red light halfway inside a crosswalk.

Yes, I wagged my finger and shook my head at her.
Yes, her partner chuckled because he thought I was being funny.

Um, no sir.

I know I am ranting. Sorry.

Sorry is the gesture I see all of the time from these Haligonian drivers. Is it just a #halifaxproblem? I’m curious.
