    WTF? Did you have any bumper stickers some lunatic might disagree with? Maybe give some fool the idea that you "cut him off," or something of that nature? Anything you can think of, @Ottomaton? That would ****ing freak me out. Damn glad it was a miss. Whoever did it wasn't concerned about hitting you, not if it came that close.

    Houston has such a weird vibe. It has for many years. I feel it every time I drive down from Austin to visit friends and relatives. While not the reason I moved here 40 years ago, I'm glad I did. Take care, man. Wow.

    glad you're ok @Ottomaton

    did you get the time to get their plate #? they just committed attempted murder and should be jailed for decades.

    since the jerk got away, let's all collectively send negative vibes and prayers so fukker and pronoun's family can get popped by gangbangers while on a peaceful family trip. amen.

    I have a buddy that was jogging in that area and got shot at randomly. He said he didn’t even realize it at the time but heard a bang in heavy traffic he thought was something falling or a backfire (which never happens these days but he grew up poor so that was his thought). After he thought it through he went back to the same spot and found a bullet hole in the building wall.

    Different story- a few years back my cop neighbor was at a traffic stop with another cop on 610 and they heard a bang. The other cop said his back hurt and he had been shot. Internal Affairs leaned on my neighbor for two years saying it was him until they arrested a guy with a rifle that matched the ballistics of the bullet they dug out of the other cop. Of course this was two cops and they’re more likely to get shot at by crooks blaming the system for their woes but it was completely random.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    In case anybody wants to see what that looks like. It took me like 5 minutes to work out that I'd been shot at. At first I thought something like a pressurized air can had exploded. By the time I figured out what had happened and to look for whoever did it, they were long gone. There was no road rage moment or any kind of kerfuffle prior to the event.

    This was taken later. I've already taped up the hole in the front window so I can drive without an arctic gust in my face.

    Of course he's fine. The question is how the other guy turned out

    Don't forget who we're dealing with here in @Ottomaton
    Dude lets his nuts hang

    Yeah, I missed it, too. Damn. Now all he's got to worry about is the weirdo in the van sitting in front of his house.

    Confidence, my friend. I say this as someone who's been in County a few times. Nobody ever ****s with me.

    Two things:

    Once when I was getting released They asked who I looked like. (It's always Charlie Sheen these days)

    Second; and this still irritates me: A guy got beaten in front of me. I was the elder and have typically stepped in. But I didn't. He was beaten badly. I went and apologized later but I should've stepped in.

    Went to the rodeo this year and this elderly dude was leaving his spot . I put my blinker on to put the suckers on notice I got next .
    This old dude did like a 30 point turn back out of a parking spot. This literary was a simple spot in the Astroworld / reliant area. Finally after 15 minutes , I turned in and then I heard this vroom of some beat up Chevy turn into the spot. I got out of my car and gave this dude the finger and then cops stop me! I said , you saw what he did? The cop said yes but he wanted to stop any ‘escalation’
    The cop found me another space .
    Only hope that the dude in Chevy chokes on a Turkey leg or a giant churro
