Wow, glad it worked out for you.  
Last week I was on one of my favorite twisty roads and a slow moving flatbed, like one of those car-repo trucks, pulled on slowly from a side road, we were in a passing zone so I passed at about 65 to his 35 (in a 55).
Well, in about a mile, in the S's, I see that he's creeped up and is tailgating me through the curves at 60, shaking his fist and grinning.   :o
Pucker pucker.  
Well, pulling over to the gravel shoulder wasn't a safe option, and I knew he couldn't take the turns any faster in his rig, so I popped up to 75 and lost him.  
I don't know what the hell was wrong with him, but it seems like he was having malicious fun, and it was a bad spot to be in.  
I was having flashbacks to Spielberg's movie with Dennis Weaver, Duel.  
Not cool.  
Got to be aware out there, danger lurks.

 ::) I can tell u one thing he came home shaking a little after that, asked him what was wrong he told me he had a bull charge him on one of the country roads, i guess the owner forgot to lock up gate or bull charged the gate open, glad I was at home, I would have freaked worse then how he felt when he came home  ::)

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

LOL we are in country so deer and bull and on that same road he took their is a house that have LAMA'S I was thinking when i first moved down here what in the world are lamas doing insome'e back yard? We have alotta farms close to us and some maynot beieve it, But I really don't care if they do or not lol. But there are alotta bull around in the fields as well as the cows. we way upstate Ga. lol. But gotta love it. I remeber when we first moved up here I was on way to church with friends and had a 5 min stand off on my side and middle of road with 2 deer that would not move, they would just look at us. I couldn't belive it. i had to rev the engin on car at least 3 times for the 2 deer to move. But it's a gerougous site to see all the wild animlas. heck my kids old school had a farm on other side with God knows how many cows in the pasture. ;D
