No commute today for me either. Have cold which I've ridden through until now, but I feel utterly lousy today. I'd like to skip work, but, well, I didn't. I know, I know, "if you're too sick to ride you must be too sick to work" but I could use a day off with how run-down I'm feeling. Bleah.

The commute home yesterday was lousy. After crossing 9th Ave I was forced out of the lane by a nasty van driver and then nobody let me back across to the right. Yes, the dude passed me on the right while I was in the middle of the lane -- he didn't even give me a chance to get out of the way, stupid POS. He was going fast enough that if I hadn't moved there was a good chance of a collision. I was so pissed I nearly made my arm bleed as I wrote his license plate, van company and van number down on my arm when I caught the SOB at the next light. (I need to start carryin "post-its" with my pen!) I made a show of looking at the side of the van (from the passenger side, I'm not stupid, heh) to get the info. When 9AM rolls around the driver's company will be getting an earful from me (assuming I can find their phone number).
