Grumpy Old Man Driver Hits Grumpy 90-Year-Old Man

Capitol Hill was certainly not the place to be yesterday, if you were a little old man pushing into your 90s. Seattle police reported that a 90-year-old man was hit by a car as he was crossing an "unmarked crosswalk" on East Republican. He was taken to Harborview to be treated with a life-threatening head injury and possible fractures. The driver of the car was an 89-year-old man, who was maneuvering through the intersection of 17th and Republican. If these two old guys turn out to know each other, it's like the Seattle version of a scene from Grumpy Old Men.

    Why the scare quotes around "unmarked crosswalk"? It's a term straight from the municipal code. You don't have to have painted lines at an intersection to make it a legal place to cross.



    And yes, stop trying so hard to be cute. You'll be 90 someday too, if you're lucky.

    The guy has life-threatening injuries and you're making flippant jokes about it? Too cute by half. You're trying too hard to be irreverant.

    When you are 90 years old, pretty much everything is life-threatening.
