Flight delayed. Probably missing my connecting flight because I have to get off the inbound plane, get through immigration and customs, go through security again, and then change terminals. Impossible to do in 45 minutes. Wheeee! Happy Sunday!

I get what this article is trying to do but framing improving cyclist and pedestrian safety as their responsibility (instead of the motorists that hit and kill them) annoys me. That being said, I do wear a light clipped to my shirt when walking at night. www.npr.org/2025/09/25/n...
