The Saddest Story of Walking in the Rain, Ped. Gets Busted for Crossing on Yellow
I received this email from Chuck Kooshian yesterday, which I thought was the most miserable story of moving through Los Angeles in the rain, narrowly beating Joe Linton's attempt to deposit a check during a power outage. Everytime I read or witness one of these LAPD crackdowns or tickets of pedestrians crossing a street against a flashing hand or yellow light, I wonder how often the LAPD tickets someone for starting and completing a left turn after the light turns red, which is far more dangerous for everyone involved.

As Always, Looking for Your Stories of Commuting in the Rain
Once a year I write a quick post asking you for your commuting or transportation stories from the past week. Basically, I'm looking for you to tell everyone how your commute or routine is changed by the rain. Feel free to leave them in the comments section, or email me if it's more than 200 words and you believe it's worthy of it's own post. I already have a story from a pedestrian in the Downtown that's going up tomorrow.
