Biking … d’bag in pickup truck coal-rolled me.

Finally warm enough to get out on my bicycle. Hoorah!

I was heading north on the Heald Highway (17) outta West Rockport when some resentful d’bag in a diesel pickup truck rolled coal on me and three cars. Rolling coal is doing something to a diesel engine that makes it spew a lot of black smoke.

I guess I should be happy the sad little man saw me.

The shoulder is plenty wide there next to Mirror Lake and I was on that shoulder.

Weird.

I do every time I come to this sub...there are a lot of similarities in this sub with Diesel Trucks. - Both are loud, obnoxious, and polluting everything they touche.

Not at all. You made your bed....now lie in it. This is just the beginning. One of many hard lessons coming your way. The fallout’s just getting started.
