I just got this in my inbox and wanted to share. It can be applied todriving in your cage, but I think it can also be applied to riding your bike (if the f_ckers didn't kill you). Here it is...The Law of the Garbage Truck (sorry I couldn't fix the font thing at the end of the first paragraph):



One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport .
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car
jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi
driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other
car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his
head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just
smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined
your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi
driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They
run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of
anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up,
they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on
you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them
well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to
other people at work, at home or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage
trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the
morning with regrets, so..... 'Love the people who treat you
right.. Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how
