Been really busy at work so no chances to post here till now. Some interesting things in the last week or so:

1) Got "goosed" leaving work. I was riding out of the parking deck on a bright, sunny day and could just barely see something approaching me from my right. As my eyes adjusted I realized it was a goose (we have dozens of them here at my building) in full attack mode--wings spread, hissing and spitting. I'd slowed because of my limited vision and it was nearly the end of me; I barely managed to accelerate again and get away from him.

2) Riding home last week there was a guy stopped at a light to my right waiting to turn. As I approached his car I saw he was wearing a surgical mask.......alone, in his own car. HUH????

3) Slammed my fist into 2 different cars this weekend commuting/running errands.

The first one was a little old lady who went way left to get around me, then went way right and cut me off. Fortunately I was already braking to stop at the red light ahead. Still I stopped right behind her and pounded my first into the trunk, then walked the bike alongside the passenger window and explained to her what an idiot she'd been.

The second one was the next day. Again approaching a light, but the driver in front of me didn't go even though the light was green. The driver behind me went way left to pass me, but then realized she had to stop because of the car in front of her. Now she was stuck....so she just started merging right. Unfortunately, I was already there. I smacked my fist into her passenger side window, she jerked the car left and pointed at the car in front of her. Lady, I don't care that the person in front of you is an idiot, that doesn't mean you can be one too.
