Pedestrain Rage

This isn't the most pedestrian-friendly town. Cars surge ahead into cross walks, oblivious of the bipedal right-of-way.
This morning, as I was crossing the street at Masonic and Waller, a silver lexus cut in front of me. I guess I've grown used to the driving etiquette, and I ignored the slight. But, the 60-year-old man with the cane, who was also crossing, couldn't contain his rage. He beat the passenger side door with his cane. Are we now reduced not only to road rage, but walk rage?

In another auto-related matter, Dan's car was nearly totalled by a falling tree this weekend. The tree crashed into the car that was parked one space in front of him. Does insurance even cover that?
