Got my wake up call on the ride to work this morning.
"Sorry, didn't see you" is on another level when it's a semi dump truck who wants your lane.
Funny how quickly the brain can kick in and perform complex time/distance calculations when it has to. Truck travelling approx. 20mph slower than me, approx. four feet of shoulder, approx. 400' before I lose the shoulder...
We can make it!
In his defense, the driver saw me when I was at about even with the back of the truck portion of the rig, and he gave me an extra foot to work with.
