Local newspaper story about walking at night

Black Rose · Jul 23, 2009

Came across this article written by the local newspaper's resident curmudgeon when I was checking the local news at lunch.

The solution is obvious to us CPFers, and apparently to a lot of the people that commented on the story.

A walk in the dark: Not so easy in our city

If you bring an umbrella when there is 80% chane of rain why not buy a good flashlight? There is a 100% chance of darkness every night.

Okay confess, which one of you wrote that?

I liked that one too.

That was torturous to read through... :crazy:

It' makes me want to start a series of articles with questions to obvious answers like, "How can I possibly shave without water and shaving cream? Ah...an electric razor. Or, "What to do about this dilemma of waking up on time every morning"..... erm, an alarm clock?

Portable personal lighting? Three guesses Mr. Denley.

"shout it right out when you know it" as Joe Peshi says to a witness during a courtroom scene in My Cousin Vinny.

Its amazing how that man can write up SO much on one little topic yet I dont see the word flashlight anywhere in it even though the title is "A walk in the dark..." Umm well, darkness happens? I hope he never comes to my town. I dont think we have any street lights? Allthough I do have a few 1- lumen solar powered walkway lights scattered around the yard but those just add to the light polution I think

I think Mr. Denley just does not want to be personally responsible for his own personal safety. Damit! The State should be responsible for it!
Where's the bread line? I'm hungry.

Wow. I have no idea how to respond to that.

I did post a comment though.

LOL!!!!!! :laughing:

By the same token he complains about the lack of light in a remote area, he could write an article about hydration and his surprise to discover that NCC didn't provide drinking fountains. Afterall, why should he have to think about carrying a water bottle with him? Isn't that someone else's responsibility? Can't I just pay taxes and leave that for someone else to think about? :ironic:

HAHA I just read everybody comments. Maybe that guy will read them and think "... MAN why didnt I think of that!?" Lets see if we have a new member join tomorrow and post a thread "Need first flashlight, mainly needed for walking down dark paths in the city has to be small enough to fit in a pocket or on a keychain" Ohh yea almost forgot "Must be able to throw 2 miles and light up an entire football field at once with a runtime of 5+hours and I want to stay between $15-$30"

Well, there is a river right beside the path he is griping about, but you'd have to be pretty desperate to drink from it though

No, most of his articles are like that.
That's why I referred to him as the newspapers resident curmudgeon

I don't know what that area is like, but the comment from the person who found him(her?) self "lost in the wooded area" while trying to get to a bus stop had me scratching my head. I mean, did the person just plunge off into a pitch dark area trying to take a shortcut?? :thinking:
