I don't change, I don't even notice the scene

As I hollered after the inapposite license plate of the SUV that had blown through the crosswalk without even thinking about stopping while we were in it, "Psalm 23? With that driving?" I am informed by [personal profile] spatch that the driver who actually had stopped for us like a normal person let out one of those whoaaa sounds as at a game of the dozens, which was extremely good recompense for almost being run over by an SUV whose Lord may have been a shepherd, but obviously not a crossing guard.

(The rest of this weekend has been different temperatures of garbage; I take my victories where I can. We were in West Medford to eat tamales on the bleachers of Playstead Park.)

Over here, while the cab drivers are the masters of our cultural/appropriate equivalent of Dozens, many pedestrians are obviously great at it too, and I thought of at least two psalm 23 related rude things I'd say, and I hadn't even had breakfast when i first read your post! XD

It would all have possibly ended in trouble, but it would have also been fun!

Did one of them involve walking through a valley of death?

One of them involved death, the other one was less classy and involved rolling up the book of psalms and shoving it up the driver's ass...

Ha! Less classy seems justified under the circumstances.
