    Oh no, she looked right at me and scowled as she said it.

    It did. It really didn't bother me. If anything I'm just happy I'm not that crabby first thing in the morning. Maybe she should ride her bike more often

    I learned many, many years ago, as a astudent, when I had to pick up my bike and turn it around to ride the other way when someone got out of a car after me, (I had returned the middle finger greeting) that the best thing to do with an irate driver is to pretend to be so stupid you think they are being nice and friendly. I always stupidly smile and wave. They give up if they think you are too stupid to even insult.

    I especially like the ones that try to run over you on their way to church on Sunday morning. How Christianlike of them! (Which probably explains why I pray more on my bike than at any other time.)

    I love doing that. I like to act like I know them. I always wave really big and yell "hey, how you been?"- then after they leave I say a few choice words to myself- then I'm over it. I'm sure it makes them even angrier that I smile and wave... bwaaaaa haa haaa
