I wasnt even in a hurry--drivers were just mental.
This morning was wet also, but uneventful. I was late so I rode fast.
It never ceases to amaze me of the caliber of drivers here. I went out to your neighborhood London Drugs Sunday night and I saw two cars almost get t-boned by pulling out or turning in front of cars, this was in a span of five minutes.
I actually had good drivers last night, not like last week. Most gave me pretty good space along the river in Richmond, which can be a real crap shoot.
I am always late and thankfully I have a job where no one complains, nor is anyone waiting on me for anything. I can never seem to get my son ready, lunches made and out the door on time; especially when I take him.
My instrument is repaired and the calibration passed. Back to work. After lunch.
