This is from a Craigslist “missed connections” posting from the morning of Feb5.
"To the girl who ran into my car door on her bike -
As you peddled away crying, I realized that I had over reacted. I was having a bad day and had just spent a lot of money on a new paint job, but pulling a gun on you was out of line. I’d like to make a formal apology in person. Over a bottle of wine and/or dinner, perhaps?"
At first I had a lot to say about this. Maybe some temperance is in order on my part. Especially, in the light of my last few postings. At least the driver that posted this piece in Craigslist didn't get in his car and try to run over the cyclist.
With the drivers the world over in mind I say this - more cyclist are injured due to inattentiveness than by meanness and YOU ARE in control of a 2000lbs bullet. I can't say more than that. After another close call this week, I'm speechless. I don't even want to contemplate whose fault the Craigslist accident truly was.
You know, I bet this was just another cure Internet hoax to get me "typen"...
