Steph, it's drivers with attitudes like yours ("I wanted to kill them. Really.")
that have formed my entire philosophy about riding in traffic. I just assume
they're all like you, and that some act of mine, legal (like riding two 
abreast) or perhaps illegal, will set them off. I make sure that they have as
little opportunity to put their thoughts into action as possible. Thanks for
reminding me that guys like you are out there.
