Had a close one on the ride home Friday night. There is a high speed section with no shoulder. I mean the paint is the edge of the road. I tend to roll up to 30-35 in here to keep up with the traffic. There was a tow truck that had loaded a dead one on his back on the dirt to the right. He decided to pull out ahead of the car in front of me. This car slams on the brakes after just passing me ...so we were fairly close. I had no time to stop since the road was a bit wet. Had to swing into lane#2 with only 1/2 second to glance at the mirror. Missed the back of his car by inches. Now since the tow truck is rolling in the road, I have to pass him before I can go back right. He almost came into lane #2 on top of me without looking till I yelled at him. Then he slowed and let me back to the right lane. Yeah, he got the bird. I was trying to think what I could have done differently, but came up with nothing. Thank god the left lane was clear.

This morning was cooler.. a mere 49F when I left the house. First day for tights and shell in a long time. Need to rummage around and find some of that winter gear. ie full finger gloves.
