A pleasant walk back

I took the train downtown at lunch today, so I could pay for next month's parking. On the way back, I forgot that MAX (the train system) has a Yellow Line spur that goes north from the Rose Quarter, when I wanted the Blue or Red Lines, which go east. But since the office is only a few blocks from the Rose Quarter, I decided to walk the rest of the way.

I used a crosswalk with a signal type I'd never seen before: when the hand symbol is flashing, there's a little digital timer just to the right of it, counting down the seconds until the crosswalk is closed. It's another one of those things that makes me wonder why it took so long for someone to think of it.
