First day of middle school! The guy is crossing a busy street by himself to get to his bus stop. He’s good at it, but this is the first of many daily death challenges that one does in a lifetime. Weird to think about all the pedestrian vs. car situations and car vs. car situations people go through every day.
I used to do these casually by myself on an even busier street at his age, not even to get to school. I was just wandering. And I wasn’t especially cautious. A friend of mine got hit by a car while he was on a bike doing this. He was totally fine, but I wonder what the stats on this are.
