Then I had this encounter: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=203336.

And finally, a driver in a pickup took the left turn so wide in front of me (I was behind him at the light) that he was driving in the bike line for a while. I'm certain he did it to intimidate me because I had the "nerve" to pull up to a light behind him.
Gosh. I think of all of the horrible experiences I've had in Houston and San antonio in 2 years can't add up to what you Experienced in one day. Me thinks you need some of that "redneck Texan Hospitality"
