I saw a car just miss a boy in a cross walk this morning.  The lady in the car didn't see him until the last moment due to sun glare on Remington. She was able to brake and swerve.  The boy had been watching me the whole way and didn't even look the other direction.  I was shaken by the thought that I was almost the last thing he ever saw.
