the Volvo weirdness

blogging on the go, on the sidewalk is actually way more exciting than it sounds - and kinda dumb, if you remember the meme of teenager(s?) in NYC texting and falling down a sewer drain.

However, I'm on my way home, and I know these 'walks like the palms of my weathered hands.

I do weird things in private, but they're not like ridiculously weird. The ridiculously weird I probably won't ever get to share on here because I wouldn't remember the details and/or I just wouldn't feel comfortable sharing.

Here's a weird habit I have: when I'm on the sidewalk and I come across a parked Volvo, I do a pretend gesture of putting on a plain ol' 3-point seatbelt and walking on.

It reminds me that the inventor of the seatbelt patent worked at Volvo, and it gives me an imaginary sense of safety in an ever more unsafe megalopolis of roads.
