" Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, troublemakers, round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules and they pay no respect to the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them; but one thing you can't do is ignore them…
because they change things, they push the human race forward.
And what some may see as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. "

What?! 3-Way Stop sign! OMG! What to do? Seriously, if we have drivers on the road not capable of understanding such simple motoring maneuvers, we have major problems. Maybe they could have send a text to get help from a friend.

As a barefoot runner for nearly 9 years and advocate of natural / minimal footwear, this is sad to see. It's amazing that so many runners still believe that marketing spin from footwear companies that cushioning and stability is required.

He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.’” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
