Road Hazards
Yesterday, I was driving down Forest in the right lane and right as I came to The Bike Shop there were about 20 or 30 folks on bikes out front on the lawn. They chose to enter traffic right in front of me at that particular moment and they didn’t seem to be paying attention to oncoming traffic. I generally have no problem with bicyclists as long as they seem to be competent and following the law themselves.
I slammed on my brakes to avoid hitting those guys you see up ahead (in this picture I took later) making the turn onto the side street from the right lane there. My camera which had been sitting on the seat next to me at the time ended up under the gas pedal. There’s now a dent that affects how fast I can change the zoom, which now requires a lot of fiddling as it seems to get stuck quite often, usually in the setting I don’t want it in.
I was planning on buying a new high end P&S camera in July, but this morning I broke down and ordered a Canon Powershot S3 IS. It’ll be here tomorrow. I’m both excited and annoyed.
