Had to take a (very) short trip from my house in East Falls to Manayunk to pick up a prescription at CVS, and almost hit three different people. Not sure who my favorite was, the two guys riding bikes going against traffic on the sidewalk, causing me to look over my left shoulder to see if they were coming (they were) as I made a left turn, the guy coming straight towards me going the wrong way, or the guy who tried to time up a light and instead cut right in front of me as it went to green.
