Any close calls recently?

Just riding yesterday, taking a shortcut through a large 55+ neighborhood. As I exited the neighborhood I turned onto a 2 lane road, headed east. Imagine my surprise when a car is coming westbound right at me in the eastbound lane. Large curb on the side of the road and I don't bunnyhop anymore, so I slowed down, unclipped, and got as close as I could to the curb. The VERY elderly driver missed me by maybe a foot or so. I shouted at him and waved my arm, but he didn't hear me, probably didn't fully see me either. And you wonder why Florida is called God's Waiting Room???
