The ride home today was awful. I was already feeling extremely weak over my entire body. Why? Who knows. Then two ladies in a sedan did a rolling stop at a STOP sign; I didn't have a stop sign and was making a right turn. I noticed that the driver was on the telephone. Albuquerque just passed a law banning cell phones in cages unless the fanatic is using a hands free device. Anyway, I was behind them, pretty far back. They stopped in the middle of the road, I slowed down and then passed them on the left. As I was passing, she sped up! She then stopped again about 100 yards up but this time put on a signal to the right and got on to the right side of the two lane road. I rolled by the driver's side very slowly and looked inside. It was two Muslim women, both wearing burkas; the driver was STILL on the *****ing phone! They were both ignoring me or totally oblivious to my existence. I was p!ssed off to say the least. About that time I noticed an unmarked police car up the road and lightly tapped on his window as not to startle the trigger happy Albuquerque Police Officer! I told him that I'd almost been hit TWICE and the lady was on the phone. I said, "It's that car that's passing us right now!" He saw her on the phone and immediately flipped on his siren for a couple of rounds...and that was it. I said, "Thank you officer...for nothing!" and rode off.

I've come across a lot of cagers that seem to lack peripheral vision. I'm wondering if a burka makes one's peripheral vision even worse? So much for religious freedom.

I'm considering becoming a full time cager next year, If I can make it that long.
