Oh, s___!! I'm in deep doo-doo, now!

Took the Commander to the dealer Friday morning to have the sunroof leak repaired (again) before Hurricane (now tropical storm) Ike dumps rain here in N Texas. Had to get a rental car for the day.

On my way to work, I was driving on the freeway, had to change lanes to prepare to exit. I signaled "right", maintained my speed of 6o mph while changing lanes, watching all the while what was going on behind me. In the rear-view, I caught a glimpse of a Ford F-350, on my tail and and making his way around me in the same lane. He swerved left and I had to swerve to the right...and there was a car in that lane... no collision, but I was fairly irate. As the truck came around me, I just glared ahead and showed them a particular finger on my left had..(it wasn't my ring finger).

I continued down the freeway in the right lane and exited about a half mile later. As I got in the left turn lane to drive across the overpass, I came up behind Mr. F-350. As we sat there waiting for the traffic light to change, I noticed that he opened his car door ("Oh, s___, I'm in deep doo-doo now"). He hopped down from the cab (truck was super-high) and came toward me...now I had not honked, made rude gestures, flashed lights or anything resembling road-rage while sitting behind him at the light---HONEST! As he approached me, he raised his left hand in a wave, had a big sheepish grin on his face, and hollered, "I'm SO sorry!"...turned around and climbed back up into the cab of his truck. Needless to say, I was relieved. I still believe he was not paying attention...maybe his passenger told him, "Dude, you're gonna kill us all!" But I was very impressed that he was apologetic. I gave him a smile and a thumbs up....he was a pretty nice guy!
