What happened to courtesy? Or manners? Don't parents teach their children basic skills for living in a polite society? It was raining hard yesterday and I didn't feel like going out for a run and getting soaked to the skin, so I instead took my umbrella and walked up to PetCo to get Tinkerbell some food, and then walked back. It is just a little over a mile each way. During that walk a young man bumped into me so hard that my umbrella banged into my face. No "excuse me" or "sorry". Nothing. And then a girl was so close on my heels that when I stopped at a crosswalk she walked right into me! Again, nothing on her side. No "oops" or "pardon me". No acknowledgement at all. Beasts.
I was looking forward to movie night. I changed my Netflix account from only streaming to streaming with DVDs and I had "Captain America - The Winter Soldier" waiting. What a disappointment. First, Captain American is the most boring superhero ever, but Scarlet Johansson is usually able to put some sparkle into the mix. The story is just so boring that I couldn't finish it and ended up going to bed before it was over.
The blues are still a constant companion. Monday's run helped a bit but that could have been the sunshine as well as the run. It is noon knitting today and that always cheers me up. It would be better if I could knit all afternoon though.

How much you wanna bet that the two people who bumped into you were looking at the screen of a phone and not looking where they were going?
I see people doing that all the time and potentially getting into dangerous situations. When they get close to me I loudly say "Look Up!" in a slightly sharp tone and it is kind of funny to see the startled looks on their faces.
