Stopping Traffic

| | Comments (4) |


I was taking my afternoon constitution down a Valley thoroughfare the other day when I saw a blind man about to cross the street, so I offered to help out.

Being sighted, I never thought about how hard it must be for a blind person to navigate his way across sans an audio clue like a buzzing or beeping sound for when the light is going to change. After all, they have them in Santa Monica. I mentioned this to this man who agreed that it would be more to have one.

Later on, I googled and called my councilman and suggested that the city install more lights to help the visually impaired cross the street. I know it would be costly but necessary to help those with disabilities, and I can only hope that others will do the same.

Interested persons should look out for the solar eclipse July 2009, as the solar eclipse July 2009 will be the solar eclipse seen by more people than any other eclipse on record. The eclipse will pass from Asia, going over India and Singapore, and will travel southeast across the Pacific Ocean over South America. An eclipse is one of the most interesting lunar/solar phenomena to occur, and it's one of the few a lay person can see without needing fast cash for equipment like a telescope. The sun will completely darken for a period of up to 6 minutes. It could be worth some cash loans to get pics of solar eclipse July 2009.

Carter, you're supposed to stay on the topic here, so how does a solar eclipse relate to traffic lights? Inquiring minds want to know.
