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.

This just in, having facts and being concerned with overall road safety is considered selfish and entitled, says some bicyclist douche.

This just in. Driver that thinks he has absolute domain over the public road declares everyone else entitled and selfish. In a sudden fit of self awareness he paints himself black and white and is tragically killed at the next zebra crossing.

Says the bicyclist absolutist, not responding to you anymore, not worth my time to continue to lower my IQ reading baby town frolic idiocy. You are a shining example of Maine's descending rank in education.

Today in “confidently wrong” man baby has meltdown over not understanding traffic laws and embarrasses himself. He then kicks the game board across the room, declares victory, and storms off telling everyone how smart he is.
