Tie it Up, Tie it Down

First thing.
If you walk a dog in the city, put it on a leash. I know that the dogs need to run free and all that, but in the city there are these weird things called cars. Your dog is walking along, la la la, and something sets it off, another dog, a loud noise, and it runs out into traffic and people can't always stop. Then you poor dog might not make it. Why take the risk. Put it on a leash from the get go and then it doesn't know any better and it'll stay safe.
Isn't alive on a leash better than untethered in heaven?
Second thing.
Why is every traffic report filled with details of couches and Sheetrock and sinks falling off of trucks and cars and blocking lanes? Secure your crap people. If you're going through all the trouble of loading it into the bed or on top the roof of your vehicle, take a minute and make sure its on there real good so you don't have to dodge traffic and get it out of the street.
This is a society people and we all have to live in it. Why not make it a little easier on one another?
