Drivers ignoring pedestrian lights

I run and walk a lot along Grand Ave.

Whenever I cross the street when the pedestrian light is on, people always turn anyway. Some even look at me as they do it. I have had trucks just whip in front of me as I am already on the crosswalk.

I have had drivers confront me and honk at me for crossing the street while the pedestrian light is on. My response is usually just a point at the light. One time a lady just slowly shook her head in disdain as if I found this loophole to cross the street when the pedestrian light was on.

Is it REALLY worth risking a strangers safety to turn a few seconds earlier? Has anyone else noticed this?

Fridge cleanout slop for dinner

Rigatoni, peas, sausages, a questionable bell pepper, a splash of milk and whatever was left of my bebere seasoning. With marinara sauce.

Which one of you started a Wolves save?

Exactly the kind of first season championship signing I'd make.

Will his wages eat up 70% of my wage bill? Yes. Will his OVR fall of a cliff? Duh.

Are the vibes immaculate? Absolutely.

Favorite parts of the city to explore?

Might be grasping at straws here but I love summer evening walks and explorations. Personal favorite is the eerily empty skywalk, there's always a new nook to explore.

Anywhere that you like to just poke around it? I'd love to hear about it.

I found some good deals on meat by accident. Unexpected freezer restock!

I was fortunate enough to come across these on my sunday afternoon stroll. This is in Price Chopper in Des Moines IA.
