Nice and cool this morning, pretty uneventful. fourth consecutive day this week - gonna go for 5 out of 5 next week. WooT!

I had a pretty close call yesterday on the way home. I was on my normal cruise eastward across the valley on a very well-marked bike friendly avenue, just south of the urban core. I was in a warehouse area with relatively sparse traffic, cruising along at 23 mph. Two cars were in the turn lane on the (coming from the opposite direction), waiting to turn onto a dead-end street (to my right). the avenue had no traffic controls at all - the cross street was a minor alley with stop signs. Anyway, I was in the intersection when the first car zoomed right in front of me, followed by the SECOND car! I missed the guy's rear quarter panel by about a foot. YIKES! I yelled "HEY!!!" into his open window, and as I looked back I could see him hit his brakes, flip me off and yell something unintelligible back at me. GEEZ! I didn't pursue it, because ya just don't know who's packin' these days, and this guy was a wiry rednecky type of guy. I'm sure he will be in a starring role in "cops" one day, if he hasn't already
Anyway, I brushed it off and had a great ride the rest of the way home.
