Dangerous Roads

But I lived. Stupid soccer mom on the cell phone. I got to the intersection at the yellow, so waited my turn to cross the road with my green. Light turns green and the car in the intersection makes its left, across my path. I start going, since it takes a bit to work up speed and the light is a short one. Well, the woman in the SUV, stopped at the red, decides this is a good time to be second through the red, and turns directly in my path. I yelled JESUS LADY and hit the brakes...BOTH of them. First time I have been on one tire, not so much fun that it was the front one. Bike heeled over and the woman just kept going, probably never saw me.

Aside from that, getting mucho stronger on the bike. Was really tired going over the interstate, then went to put it in a higher gear and realized I had taken the hill in the highest gear...yay me. And once I got home, I took a nice walk to the post office rather than cool down. Eating lots of freestone peaches, too. yum

School is settling down, but things are still kind of un-level. My homeroom has 27, another has 32, the honors is steady at 26 (but really should have one moved from the 32 room...she was straight A student last year), and the last room has 23. Go figure. The biggest and smallest are the worst at different times, including one young lady who was so insolent last year her mother cried in a meeting with us.
