THEM

I don’t like them. They scare me.  I try to avoid them. However, it is impossible to avoid them when I walk around Stamford. Worse they are growing in numbers. One of them came close to hurting me badly.

What I am talking about are cars with tinted windows.  I cannot see the driver with the heavily tinted windows. Hence, them. Now, they are even adhering the tint to the front window.

The scary part is walking in front of a car at an intersection. It is difficult enough when you can see the driver.  Will they see you? Are they on the phone?  When you cannot see them, every issue is magnified.

The time I almost got hit I was crossing the road.  Them was not even close to the stop sign When I started. I made the mistake of assuming them would at least slow down. Of course, I couldn’t see them. Front Window was totally tinted. I know this drill very well as I see it happen all the time.  Them was turning right and I assume them made a quick look to the left saw no traffic and floored it totally ignoring the stop sign. Of course, them didn’t see me at all. I missed being hit by one inch.

The kicker. Them had to stop at the next intersection for a red light.  Them gained nothing by running the stop sign

The worst part is it is illegal to have heavily tinted windows on your car in Connecticut.

Them, one of trials when you walk the streets of Stamford

By the way “Them” is also a name of a 1950s Science Fiction Movie. I grew up on those movies when I was a child.  Channel 7 had the 4:30pm movie every weekday.  Each week was a different format.  WWII was one-week, teenage movies one week and then the SciFi movies. Them was a pretty good movie
