At one point I hear repeated honking behind so I wave. Then as the mini-van passes I hear a woman yell
a##hole. So I call out "thankyou , have a nice day". Guess she had to get home for the trick or treaters. About
a 1/2 mile down the road I get buzzed. If I had stuck out my elbow I probably would have made contact with the mirror. Pulled up at the next light and the guy rolls down the window and proceeds to tell me how I should
be on the sidewalk if I don't want to get hurt. Again I said " thanks, I'll remember that".
Got home and my wife asked how my ride was. I said great, a little warm , and I got to converse with 2 beacons of society. Really, thats my story and I sticking to it.
