Cat Run Down on Adams Street

One of the cats seen roaming the neighborhood regularly was found dead on Adams Street Saturday night. There have been a number of stray animals roaming the area lately but this one looked to have belonged to a nearby resident. Animals should be kept close to home, of course, and while cats are prone to roam, it usually takes a little intent to actually hit one. Unlike squirrels, who tend to dart in and of any moving thing, cats can usually be spotted and avoided. Of course, the asshole flying down Adams amidst the other assholes who always fly down Adams just went ahead and hit the animal and kept going. This, of course is illegal. But so are 80% of the other activities that go on in Petersburg without any hint of prosecution. The new circle does two things. It slows down traffic because of the stop signs, and confuses most of the local idiots because they don't know how to go around it. Perhaps that will change, even here amidst the low end of the gene pool. But until Adams becomes a one-way street going north, which remains the ONLY solution to this traffic problem, keep your eyes out for the hot-wheeled morons flying down Adams, Today it was someone's cat; tomorrow it may be you or your child. And don't think they will stop for you either.
