A big ugly SUV had me pressing dangerously close to the curb today when he just whipped over into my personal space. Of course I grabbed the brakes and veered while his rear quarter came far too close for comfort to my front wheel as he was moving over. He finally stopped his incursion into my lane and whipped back to where he came from as he probably noticed my bright headlights shining up into his driver's side view mirror from way too close to his rear quarter and realized ...

I was in the HOV lane, so there was a barrier to my left. It was 4pm on Friday in Dallas, so traffic was getting heavy through town. I was coming from the airport on 635 where it merges with 35 for those of you in this area. I was doing about 50 when up ahead I saw the traffic in all 4 right lanes stopped. HOV lane was moving. I decelerated cuz cars tend to change lanes quickly, and from a stop to 50, I'd be in a world of hurt if one of them cut ...

I try and move the bars and head in thier direction for just a second. I have noticed that it gets thier attention and they see me. Kind of like the flashing headlight.

Let's see, oh yeah. Never ride 29 stand up wheelies back and forth across the parking lot during your lunch break. 28 is OK, but the 29th one almost cost me my right foot.

But after watching my grandfathers and now my dad have a bunch of basil cells burnt off, I'm a big believer. I have some in the bathroom cabinet. After shaving, I smear some on.
