I swerve left and just start yelling **** like "why are you so close to me" etc. He swerves over and the tail end of his SUV smoked my bars going at least 20-25mph. I got really squirrely and somehow kept it together. Then I saw him stopped at a light. I roll up to him and apologized about yelling, and then explained very calmly that he could've killed me. He starts apologizing, saying he was having a ****ty day of work and other things. Shook hands and I was on my way.

Sure, I could've rolled up and busted his window with a ulock or pulled him out and beat the poor dude to death, but I didn't. I figured next time he rolls up to a cyclist he might cool his jets a little, which would be best for all of us.
Bar food, just done really well. I have a fine-dining background, so some of that will come through simply because it's more difficult for me not to cook that way. I'm the kind of cook that makes everything hisself. I make my own ketchup, ya know?

That situation had potential to go very badly. I'm glad it worked out though.
