I have now developed a problem with joggers jogging on the road, especially when they're jogging in double and even triple file, and won't give courtesy to traffic.

I have no idea why anyone thought walkers and riders should have right of way on the road. Seriously.

It's like walking down a shooting range with people firing rounds right past you.

Get them off.

Cyclists are a bit of a grey area. I know the plight of both sides, believe me. This place is like, triathlete central so I have to deal with a lot of them.

But this, this is erring more towards black & white.

In their defense there are no footpaths along this particular road (just grass on either side), but further along there is a footpath AND a bike lane and they chose to jog in the bike lane making cyclists go onto the road to get around them. I even made a point of veering far left on the road in order to "encourage" them onto the grass but they didn't budge (I should make a point that they were jogging on the wrong side of the road too, so they definitely watched me hug the gutter as I approached). Ordinarily your pedestrian safety instincts would make you get out of the way, but I guess they're not there when you're deluded into thinking the road is yours.

Walkers and cyclists should have their own paths.

That way, everyone is happy.

i would like to find a book about the philosophy behind the design of swinging saloon doors of the mid 1800's, but i have not been able to find one despite many inquiries.

www.legendsofamerica.com/we-saloons.html addresses saloon doors toward the end of page one.
There is also: petticoatsandpistols.com/2011/02/01/saloon-doors/

thank you very much for the links. they were very informative.
