UPDATE to "Finally! A water bottle that doesn’t leak."

Okay... after all the FDA says... there are still articles / studies coming out saying that BPA (bisphenol A) has negative side effects on everything from diabetes to cardiovascular disease. This is complete bullshit and I have completely stopped trusting anything they say about how safe something is.  On to the point... the bottle I had has BPA in it... so I am posting that I found a bottle just as good but without the potential health risks.  Rubbermaid was kind enough to create a site displaying which of their products contains BPA (you can see my old bottle there) as well as alternative products that do not contain BPA.  I bought a new bottle from them (good marketing that site!) that does not contain the chemical and still doesn't leak all over the place!

So, Monday I am on my way to work and I am coming up on the last turn that I need to make at an intersection in order to go down the road my work is located on. There are two lanes of traffic going all directions, with double turn lanes as well. I'm doing 45 in a 40 in the right hand lane when a woman comes flying around me at about 55 and cuts me off to get in front of me just as the light changed red. This wouldn't have been a problem if she had been turning right at the light as I needed to do. Of course she wasn't. That would be too easy since then I could have turned after she did before the turn light changed (allowing through traffic and completely cutting me off for 5 minutes). So I had to sit there staring at the back of her head waiting on the light to change. Thanks for the courtesy, idiot.

Tuesday, that'd be today... again on my way to work. A police officer had stopped in the right lane at an intersection with his lights on and gotten out of his vehicle in order to move what appeared to be a stroller laid out on the pavement (fortunately, no kids were in it). There were two cars driving beside me, I was in the left lane... I slowed down a bit and the car just ahead of me (using his turn signal) merged into my lane. Well so did the idiot girl yapping on her cell phone not paying attention to anything else. She almost hit the police officer as she cut me off. I drove up by her, honking... all I got was a quick glance. I mentioned how much people talking on their cell phone and driving annoys me right? Idiot.
