Uneventful . . . for once, thank God. I've taken to saluting vehicles for making the right move on the premise that most of the people who give me trouble are intolerant right wing wackos, of which Missouri has their fair share, and who therefore would respond well to a nice crisp military salute. Like if a car is approaching head on and looks like they are going to turn in front of me, I motion violently that I am going straight through the intersection, then after they stop and let me go, I reward them with a crisp salute. 9 times out of 10 they are driving some hulking SUV with a "W" or 2004 Bush/Cheney sticker. The bastards. I also try to wear a lot of American flag T-shirts. I think I get less hassle. Hippie anarchists are less likely to run over cyclists just for the fun-of-it, so no need to wear peace-sign or marijuana leaf shirts. Doh.
