If so, I just continue as I was. If not, I move off the pavement. If there's a curb, I'll walk on the curb. If it's grass, I'll walk on the grass.
Maybe some day when my hearing aids stop being good enough to let me hear what's coming up behind me, I'll get one of those little tiny mirrors you can attach to your eyeglasses. And then I'll be able to see them coming. For now I'm good to go, because I have something called "situational awareness" which apparently a lot of old people no longer possess - or possibly never had.

Or maybe, one day, and I would suggest soon, you learn to walk facing the traffic like you should.
