I am driving down Cannon St taking my wife to work, about noon, on a clear sunny day and was approaching John street. The light was red but had turned green while I was half a block away. There was this big truck stopped in one of the middle lanes. Hmm… the light is green, why doesn’t he start driving? I slow down. I see a nose appear from in front of the truck. Then a horse’s head follows… no two heads.. then their necks and eventually the saddles with two police officers riding their mounts.
Clip… clop… clip… clop go the cops. They seemed to be totally oblivious to the fact that they are running a red light. Running… way to slow for that. Clip-clopping a red light. Eventually this dynamic duo makes it across the road and the rest of us can now proceed to our destinations.
I smile, shake my head and drive away.
