The most dangerous day in the city is a rainy one. Terrors to be avoided while walking the sidewalks:
– The Blind Bull: In which a full body slam is the result of texting with one hand and tilting an umbrella against the rain with the other.
– The SciFi Skewering: Any good sci fi movie involves someone passing through an inexplicable machine with gears that could crush the careless. Like two-way sidewalk traffic in a crowd with umbrellas.
– The Gouge: Pointy umbrella edges in the hands of a pedestrian unaware of their clearance area, stabbing a passerby.
– Waterbussing: It’s a legal, yet controversial practice by city busses. Stand too close to a curb when one passes through a puddle and one is heading home for a change of clothes.
