near miss

No accidents enroute to work... it was close, though. On the onramp to 101, some bozo in a Mitsubishi compact with a huge rear spoiler pulled on to the closed left lane (construction) in order to cut in front of me and another car. Since this was clearly both disrespectful and a boundary violation, I responded by accelerating on to the shoulder and then cutting in in front of him at an angle such that he either had to let me in or lose his front bumper. As we traded one-fingered salutes while merging on to the freeway, I nearly tail-ended someone else backed-up from the 85 onramp... stopped just inches short. My right calf is still sore... but the Mitsubishi driver gave me a wide berth afterwards. Boundaries... enforced. :)
