   Get yourself one of those magic canes from the blind association or the
state office for the blind.  They are white with a red tip and have special
magic powers to make cars stop in their tracks.  Get a good solid one just in
case the magic doesn't work - then you can use it to take a good wack at the
car...  :-)

I already have a Magic Cane.   However,  I do not care to find out that the
magic only works 99 percent of the time on the hundredth automobile.
