Comment on That dangerous time change by David

David — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 16:35:31 +0000

Actually, the reason for driving careful(ly) after the time changes and it gets darker sooner is for the pedestrians. People forget how to walk in the dark and every year when the time changes in this manner, there is a rise in the number of pedestrians hit by cars for the first week. So it’s not that people forget to turn their lights on or have trouble adjusting to driving home from work in the dark, but that pedestrians forget that it IS dark earlier and are not as easily seen. Thus, the drivers need to be more careful and on the watch for pedestrians that haven’t yet adjusted to the early darkness.

Comment on Sometimes life gets busy by Step Brother Mark

I see a disconnect with the title “Sometimes Life Gets Busy” and the idea of writing a blog. How can life ever be busy if you have enough time writing a blog.

Just jealous, I guess, but time is most definitely relative.

Comment on Danny Vinik: Boston’s answer to Steve Bartman by David

I caught a foul ball off of Paul Molitor that didn’t have an effect on the game, but I’m quite sure it had a positive effect on the rest of the little boy’s life whose face was about to get smashed if I hadn’t reached out and gloved it. That was undoubtedly even more important than the game was, though I never became famous for it.

My most famous catch, however, which practically everyone in the country (who is old enough) can remember even though I received no personal notoriety for it, was the infamous bat that Ozzy Osbourne supposedly bit the head off of at a Des Moines rock concert in 1981. He threw it at me specifically stating it was a curse being placed on me for not clapping my hands. I was standing in the second row, apparently the only one NOT complying when he made the request, “Everybody Clap Your F***ing Hands!”. And, just for the record, it’s head was still intact.
