Little Purple Pill

The Nexium must be helping because the chest pain is not as bad.

Yesterday was Father's Day so Ruth and Rachel took their Dad out to lunch at the Olive Garden and Marble Slab Creamery. They gave me a new pair of Oakley M-frame sunglasses -- thank you very much, nice gift! The remainder of the day was spent on a 2-hour solo bike ride, then home alone watching a movie and doing computer stuff.

Riding Road Bikes: Yesterday's route was on the mostly quiet back-roads of NW Gwinnett County, the old "Blackjack Loop". There was one motorist who came upon me as I was going down the long steep hill on Rock Quarry Rd., beside the prison. I was already exceeding the speed limit but this person felt compelled to overtake me from behind, lay on the horn and attempt to run me off the road. There was no other traffic or any reason for this other than to attempt to terrorize. [WARNING: Rant Ahead]

Ignorance & Arrogance: Just exactly like the Al Queda terrorist of 9/11, vigilante motorist believe they are in some way doing society a service by piloting their vehicles at innocent people like joggers, cyclists and whomever they believe are infidels, idiots or whatever. It's time to wake up and realize that these people strolling their babies, jogging and cycling along the roads are your neighbors and fellow human beings, not the enemy. [End Rant]
