40. Your tragedy was on my mind during my commute this morning.

Mar 2016

First time ride on my new motorcycle, not familiar with it, so only going 5mph over in the carpool lane. Some asshole in a giant diesel pickup (no passenger visible, but maybe I just couldn't see a second person rattling around in the cockpit of battlestar galactica there.) tailgaited the shit out of me the whole way. Not like I can pull over.

Five mph over. Still had to climb up my ass in his giant rig. I'm sure he was flipping the fuck the whole time too.
