I file this under, "Well, Duh."  Old habits die hard.  Case in point; looking both ways on 2-way streets.  Now that Howes Street is 2-way, I have to remind myself to look LEFT when crossing.  How many of us are used to just looking right?  I almost got t-boned the other morning by someone running a red light at Howes and Mountain.  Too close for my comfort.

Have yourself a wonderful weekend.
