“An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.” Samuel Butler

To the small Asian lady that walks around my block at all hours of the day:

I apologize for almost hitting you with my car (again) as I exit/enter my driveway. Either I’m not awake, you’re moving quickly, or the trees at the front of my property block the view of the sidewalk. I understand how you will no longer wave back when I acknowledge my error in almost killing you. Again. Every time it happens, I promise myself that I will be more careful – and I do so but I notice that it takes almost precisely as long for you to resume walking around my block before it happens again.

I’m not trying to keep my neighborhood dangerous, there’s just something about your walking pattern that I just don’t notice. Really.

Sorry.
