AM - 10.8 miles, up to work, easy. Nearly got taken out by a car that just blasted through a stop sign. I hope they got wherever they were going 2 seconds faster. I also hope that they had their radio turned up loud because the woman driving would not have liked what I yelled at her!

PM - 7.3 miles, ran home.

Well, I hope you didn't bang on her car! You should tell the story where you could've gotten killed.

No I didn't hit her car or even swear. You'd be proud of me. But she was a terrible driver and was probably playing w/ her iphone or something like that... just went straight through the sign and missed me by about 3 feet.

I'm impressed by your restraint, glad that nothing serious happened.

I just about got hit the other night. I have noticed that a lot of people do not look right when they are making a right turn, they only look left. There was a car going really fast that rolled through the stop sign and I knew they were not looking, so I jumped onto the sidewalk. If I had not been paying attention it could have been ugly.

Yeah that is a common thing I notice... people only look to see if there is traffic to the left of them. But in this case, I was coming from the left! She didn't even look to see if she was pulling out in front of another car!

She was probably in the middle of a hot texting conversation. I hope she heard your barrage of expletives.
