Geniuses, all of them. Watch how little rain and the rest that we get…
If there is a warning going on and you see someone at a bus stop, please stop and ask them if they are aware. The cell phone mentality has caught on and everyone presumes everyone else has a cell phone. If you see someone on a bike in a car, ask them the same thing.
