On Monday it was some verbal threats but on way back yesterday I had some good size rocks hurled at me. They missed and I just dug deep to get out of the situation. I'm not dealing with that sh*t anymore. Last thing I want is to become some gangs initiation punching bag. I have to make it home to the wife and kid.

It's depressing because my bicycle commute has now gone down from 18 miles one way to 10 and the amount I drive to a new Park and Ride has gone up from 7 miles to 12. However, the new Park and Ride (Westwood Park) is right off the trail at the 610 loop. I'm going to play around on google maps and add a few miles for a longer ride.
Your life is worth more than those 8 miles one way. Good call but I expect you will find a way to make up those miles.
