Last night was a good commute for the most part. I couldn't help but give a d-bag the finger twice last night, though. Honked at me a couple times and then passed aggressively. This on a road w/ sharrows. Guess he didn't get the concept. Not surprising. Oh, and as is so typically the case, the bad driver was a Maryland driver. Predicatble. So I gave him the finger as he passed. He get past me only to be held up waiting for a left turn at the next intersection 400 feet up the road. As I passed his car as he waited to turn left, I couldn't help but flick him off again. He deserved it.
I don't encounter that type of driver too terribly often and I can usually let it slide and forget about it, but not last night. Maybe it was the heat, or the jet lag, or... I dunno. Anyway, only downside to an otherwise good commute, and it happened in the last 1/4 mile, so at least the first 6.75 miles were unspoiled by a-holes.
Today - hot and windy... at least it was a nice tailwind on the way in around noon after a morning medical appointment. I am looking forward to tomorrow when the highs are supposed to return to a more seasonal 60-something degrees. I need to ease into this summer thing. Not a big fan...
