Brrr. 46 degrees F this morning. It's summer, isn't it. Had a funny run in with a maroon SUV last night on the way home. I was taking it easy, rolling down Cedar Lake Rd. just East of US 169. The road has recently been retarred and then had gravel layed. There's a wide parking lane with some parked cars and a bunch of the gravel that hasn't been compacted into the tar yet, so I was hanging out just to the left of the edge of the door zone, not really taking the lane at all (there are no stripes on the road yet). This maroon SUV is behind me and beeps the horn. I glance over my shoulder and decide there is plenty of room for him and me, especially as there is no oncoming traffic. The driver beeps the horn at me four of five times as he passes. I look over and glare and he honks again. It's a young guy, probably still a teenager. He immediately signals a left turn so I decide I'm going to let him know I think it's rude to honk at people and follow him. He notices me following and takes off... 4500 lbs. SUV scared of a guy on a bike. I chase him around the neighborhood a few times and he eventually looses me but it's clear he's circling around his destination. I decide to just go home. Pretty funny...
