I am in the front of the pack waiting for the light to turn green. When it turns, I stay in the center of the lane and move through the intersection and gesture my left turn. The guy behind LAYS on the horn the entire time he is behind me while going through the overpass. I turned around and the guy (and his wife) must have been over 60 years old. Was I in the wrong or are they just further testimony of the road rage here in Houston? I have navigated that intersection almost two months straight and that is the first time someone did not maintain proper restraint.
In some (most? all?) areas honking the horn is only allowed for immediately dangerous situations. You sexagenarians were in the wrong. I don't know if you were in the wrong, too, but I doubt you were.
Edit: Heh, forgot to post about my commute. Last night on the way home I met-up with Ubie (BF member) to take him to my local shop (pretty good, quick one-man shop). That was fun. Ride in the morning was a bit uneventful. The most exciting thing that happened is that the HRM on my new Forerunner 301 was a bit wonky -- it was so cool I wasn't sweating enough for it to get a good signal!
