I must be jinxed. That T-intersection where I never meet another vehicle until yesterday. It happened again today. I came to a screeching halt. I think my commute departure time has drifted into school dropoff time.

Then I'm riding along this beautiful street. Nice and wide, smooth, never have any problems there. This car cruises in front of me to my left then gradually slows. Child in seat. School nearby. I deduce he is looking for a parking spot along the road. No turn signal. Grrrrrr. He pulls right in front of me. Fortunately I was prepared so I made an emergency swerve to the left to miss him. No fun.
