Anyhow, what I would appreciate (Understanding that you really can't worry about every other figure you see around you on the street--I walk around in a daze enough that I better not throw any stones...) is (1)if possible, give more that an arm's length berth when/if you pass me (2)if possible, pass at a better-lit place like an intersection, and (3) if there is an equally good route to where you are going and you have noticed a lot of fearful glances at you, cross the street, turn sooner, or whatever Basically, I don't WANT you to go out of your way--which is why I appreciate the kindness when you do...Patty
