That could've been an entirely new thread.

Some prick almost took out my wife while she was crossing the street earlier in the year. He didn't actually hit her, but she had to leap out of the way and the ****er didn't even slow down. Didn't get a plate number. We did look for the car a bit but she couldn't identify it.

Always expect the unexpected when you're 100 yards or further from your crib. Always have an exit out.

I would definitely go for Option D.

Poll fail. Rain Man likes the Omaha Omaha Omaha option over Gaz now days. So it must have been Omaha Omaha Omaha run for -2yards close.

I like being Rain Man's facebook friend, because now I get little status update trailers for his Chiefsplanet threads. It's very exciting.

(My wrist hurts now.)

On a slightly different note, we have this big parkway near our house that's east-west, and is configured like this: bike lane, road lane, big wide grassy area, road lane, bike lane. It's very residential, so it's not busy at all.

At one point it intersects with a slightly busy street, so there's a light. We often do take the boulevard to the slightly busy street and then turn right to go to the mall.

Well, if you miss the light, you're sitting there waiting for it to turn so you can make your right, and meanwhile the bikers are going about their business. It's very lightly traveled, so you may see a couple of bikes, but never more than that.

When the light turns green and I want to make my right, occasionally there'll be a bike coming up in the bike lane. Now, if the bike wants to go straight, he/she is going to cross the path of my right turn. But I'm there first. I always make sure to not go and let the bike go, but I'm surprised at how they never seem cautious about it. If I'm on a bike and I see a car at the light with it's right turn signal on as the light is turning green, I'm not just going to blithely keep cruising right into its path and trust that it sees me. People making right turns are not inclined to look in their right mirror. I'm kind of surprised that there aren't more people hit at that intersection.

And I presume that the bikes have the right of way, but it's just weird that I'm there ahead of them and am supposed to notice them passing me on the right when my light turns green.

I feel kind of guilty about that. It's like I'm some tiresome bore repeating my story at a dinner party.

Buehler445 10-17-2012 09:36 PM

Glad you're not dead, Rainman.

BoneKrusher 10-17-2012 09:38 PM

wow, glad you're safe Bro, sounds like a close call.

KS Smitty 10-17-2012 09:43 PM

I'm glad you're ok. Pavement Man is nowhere near as cool as Rain Man.

Dr. Johnny Fever 10-17-2012 10:11 PM

RM if you die can I have your Dr. Pepper?

Imon Yourside 10-17-2012 10:14 PM
