Dear Suicidal Early-Morning Jogger,
Riverview line is beautiful in the pitch black at 5am isn't it? Those thin reflective strips on your jacket really saved your life this morning as my headlights caught you running on the road, on a curve, just before my sideview mirror would have clipped your elbow. And when I swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid killing you at the last minute, that was awesome too. You know what would have been super amazing? If all of us had died because you feel the need to jog on the road in the dark. Don't get me wrong, I really admire your tenacity. However, there are perfectly good sidewalks just down the road that we all pay for with good tax-payers dollars. Maybe you should jog on those in your black outfit with the tiny reflective stripes. While you're on your health kick, maybe you should consider mental health... MY mental health. Do you have any idea what running you down and possibly causing a head-on collision would have done to me? Or the people in the other car? Or our families? I hope your cardio health is worth that.
Here's a thought. Jog in the DAYLIGHT. ON THE SIDE OF THE BLOODY ROAD. OR USE A SIDEWALK.
Sincerely,
All early morning drivers everywhere.
