I think there is something in the air today! I was almost hit by TWO little old people, one woman, one man, each in the Bay Area icon - the Toyota Prius - and yes, I like Prius's. They were backing out of driveways on to rather busy roads. The first, almost hit me, so I slammed on the brakes, then she realized what she did and stopped while still in front of me (man am I glad I keep my clips loose!), then proceeded to pull out in front of another motorist. The second just caused me to slam on the breaks - it was good for a nice increase in the ole heart rate. Heard that's good for the heart.

But on the good side of people, I had a construction worker go out of his way to show me newly poured tar so that I did not run over it.
