Yeah, the driver didn't seem to care that she could have killed me when I gave her a stare. I think she was on her way to the nail salon. I think that bothered me more than the actual start of seeing the door open.

Other than that the ride was awesome. Nice, cool, breezy weather we're having here the past few days. Awesome for riding.
One time I was lucky enough to see that a driver was about to open her door and I was able to take the lane safely. Very lucky for me because the timing was such that she would have nailed me perfectly. As I went by I yelled "Mirrors!" And I could hear her surprised "eek!"
