Had a rare (for me) inter-modal commute today: bike to Portland (Maine) bus station, bus to Boston, then back again. No precipitation on the morning bike ride, snowstorm developed during the day. Fortunately it stayed snow in Portland, so the ride home was only partially wet.

Funny thing, though. I almost never get road rage around here. Maybe it was the non-standard route, but I had not one but two cases of angry drivers for no apparent reason. The first time, I was just riding along on my side of the road, and this driver coming the other way, on his side of the road, just rolled down his window and starts yelling at me. Couldn't hear what he said, but I can't think what I could have done to make him mad. I was on a straightaway, so it couldn't have been anything I did wrong in an intersection. Maybe he thought I was someone else?

Then at the next intersection, after I turned right, legally, someone passed me and honked aggressively. I don't think he was the one immediately behind me, but maybe he was a few cars back and thought I was holding people up making my turn. So that one at least I can form a theory about.

Oh well, do I care?
