I had to stop in the middle of the crosswalk and wait for the bus. The driver didn't even slow down. I backed up in my wheelchair and was worried that traffic from the other side would start going... I am not sure of a baseball bat but I would love video or phone camera that could be uploaded quickly to the police dept. On Sep 24, 2009, at 1:40 PM, Eric Westhagen wrote: > Not so fast.
