She wears a bright neon yellow trench coat that reaches down to the ground, a neon yellow cap, and carries a stop sign that is a lemon-er, neon--yellow circle atop a long candy-striped pole.
So she looks like a local lollipop lady. She's actually an official school crossing guard. I see her every morning when I go running and need to cross at her section of the road (it's not at an intersection). We now have nice visits while we wait for a break in the cars. She's very Irish, it's amusing to hear the way she talks (not merely the accent, but also the speech pattern and word choices), and I know all about her family, hobbies and such.
Yes, it's rather fun seeing a familiar face and having a chat in the morning, especially with the local lollipop lady!
