Today's best thing was the fact that I was not run over by a co-worker while leaving work. The idiot driver was stopped well back from the street on the driveway. There was a lot of oncoming traffic so I felt safe continuing on the sidewalk across the driveway.

How wrong I was!

The idiot driver stomped on his gas pedal and turned right onto the street without ever looking to the right. He came so close to running me over that I had to curl my toes up in my shoes and suck in my breath. One inch closer and I would have been on my way to the ER!

Another co-worker was right behind me and came to see me the next day to make sure that I had recovered from the near miss. I have told everyone what a stupid !*@& this guy is. But just to make sure everyone knows who to avoid on the freeway, I snapped a photo of his license plate. It's a dark charcoal grey Prius so keep your eye out and drive defensively when you see this plate on the road:

Scofflaws Beware! You Have Been Warned!

I am inspired on this new series in my blog by an editorial in the New York Times. I have decided to make it my mission to record every incident of a driver who does not respect the rights of pedestrians as well as every violator of the recently enacted City Water Ordinance.

When available, I will snap photos of the offenders with my digital camera so I can illustrate their offense.

Today, we inaugurate this series with The Slut in the White Mercedes (partial license plate 5LZ) who turned left from California onto Maryland while I was in the crosswalk and couldn't even wait until I was on the other side of the yellow line before encroaching on the crosswalk. Next time I see this B@#$%, I will have my camera ready to snap her Ugly mug as well as her license plate.
