Last night while driving (soberly) home after last call, I was buzzing up
the Jones Falls Xpwy. At one somehwat blind curve, traffic had come to a
sudden grinding halt beyond the curve for a pretty bad accident. I mashed on
brakes like everyone else and managed to stop the Brick just in time. I
watched in my rearview as the driver behind me got the same rude surprise I
did. He was moving way too fast and I thought I was a goner. However he
deftly swerved at the very last moment to avoid me. It was some pretty flash
driving considering he was on his cell phone.

He and I rolled down the windows and talked about how narrowly he had missed
me. He said, "I thought I was going to cream you and that would have killed
me - I have a Westy myself." I flashed him the Vdub salute and commended him
on his lightning reflexes.

It occurs to me now that he might've done even better if he wasn't on his
cell phone...
