Default First Time

There is a saying among people who install home alarms. The first time you really realize the need for a home alarm is the day after you have been robbed. I view the striping the same way. The first time you will support having them is the day after you have an accident. Today we were driving our cart to Spanish Springs and when we went through the tunnel by 446 we came very close to hitting a gentleman that was walking thru the tunnel without any reflector, etc. We actually swerved to avoid him and if another cart was coming we could have hit it. I said to the gentleman that it would be better if he wore something that stood out and his response was an expletive that can't be put in the note. I was polite and obviously he really was not a "gentleman". I wish him no harm and hope he thinks about it again and decides on the side of safety. It takes all kinds to make a world.
