Another gorgeous day in Anch, clear and cool. Confronted a motorist today, the first in a long time, after she passed me with maybe two inches to spare between her rearview and and my shoulder. I'll take some of the blame for not having taken a more assertive road position and allowing just enough space (barely enough) for her to squeeze between myself and oncoming traffic, and hopefully the memory of her SUV sliding up alongside me well inside of half a foot will be enough to remind me of my error for some time to come. The "I have no idea what you're talking about" look on her face when I asked her if she was aware that she'd almost hit me was almost as infuriating as nearly being driven off of the road.
