I would like to apologize for my reaction to you when you passed me, during the evening commute, between Blondo and Maple Streets on 132nd street. Although you may have had a reason for using the language you did while passing me, I have no excuse for the words I offered in response.
However, I would like to point you at section 6B of the Nebraska Driver's Manual. I think you will find that I was not doing anything that should generate such anger on your part. Feel free to correct me if you think I am mistaken.
I would also like the apologize for the sense of glee that I experienced as you got stuck in a VERY long line of traffic in the "fast" lane and I proceeded to cross Maple street well in advance of you in the "slow" lane. I hope you were able to find some satisfaction in knowing that I was no longer "slowing the F$@%ing traffic down" (your words, not mine).
A note to the rest of my readers: In over 4,000 miles of commuting, this is probably the first time I've had a driver actually display full blow rage towards me. What is odd about this, is that I was doing 35mph down a hill when this happened and I had sprinted up the hill prior to this at about 20mph. Prior to that, I was also waiting in the stop and go traffic on 132nd, along with everyone else, do to some construction delays.
Sorry for the long post. Read the posts below for even more interesting info about my day.
Oh... and I went out to lunch with my mom, sisters, my wife and kids today. Thanks for paying mom. ;-)

sounds like you have some rage to deal with, dude. You gonna be able to handle riding with us on Saturday?
I think it's the road bike. I get more anger directed at me when I'm on skinny tires than fat tires on roads.
You are very fortunate for this being the first time. I think you are living a sheltered commuting life. 8-)
Bryan... Sure, I'll just be working out some frustration during the ride. Just watch me on the first big hill ;-).
Dale... With my studded snow tires on, I'm not sure anyone would mistake time for skinny tires. But I'm guessing this guy was mad way before he ever saw me.
He was probably in a hurry to get home to watch American Idol, and plant himself on the couch for 4 hours.
