Dammit! I pasted the fat-fingered, un-spell-corrected version!!!
Try this one, if you're (not) illiterate (like I am without a spellchecker).
Anyway, I wanted to say how much I enjoyed this board - both the technical and non-technical. Most of the time, however, I just lurk and enjoy!

Well sort of...
I attempted to take on Intrudn's challenge and relate a typical ride to work day for me. But it turned into two pages of rants and raves about dodging idiot drivers in shinny brand new 6000 lb, 8 MPG, 760000 ft-lbs of kinetic energy ballistic missiles know as SUV's. Out to kill me - every one of them!
It became apparent from my story that I *AM*, in fact, and without a doubt, the motorcycle drivin paranoid schizophrenic psychopath that Volvo and SUV drivers perceive me to be. (Otherwise, why are they trying to kill me!!!) So instead of sending it, I decided to delete it, and re-read Intrudn's story, which was much more relaxing.
Hell, I may re-read Hogrider's Colorado story too.
Thanks guys!
Patrick. So many SUV's, so little time. Yelp, that pretty sums up MY ride to work.
