Something else to consider: In 1980 I was hit (intentionally) while riding
on an Interstate in San Diego. The guy who did it was out on bail for
murdering his wife. He was arrested and charged with attempted murder on
me. He was released on bail again and was driving around for another two
years before going to prison. The point is, there are some real whackos out
there. I now try to avoid confrontations at (almost) all costs.
BTW, that's the condensed version. The long version is a good story. Buy me
a beer someday & I'll tell it to you.
