Marta Moment #2

Just a short one tonight...

The City of Atlanta is putting down fresh asphalt on one of the roads I cross near the MARTA station. The asphalt had been layed down a while ago but perhaps still a little warm. While I waited for the light to go green I got a little bored (obviously I have a low attention span) and touched my shoe to the warm asphalt that I was about to walk over to see how soft it was. A little drunk man must have loved the sight as it appeared to him that I was "dipping my toe" into the street "to test the water." The little man burst out, "Don't worry, Sonny, you won't fall in!"...

I'm sure he probably thought he was swimming across when the light turned green...
