New Happening

So today I was out riding and experienced a first in my riding career. Now I have ridden in some cold and miserable conditions and have seen a lot. Today it was 18 degrees with the wind chill and was not too bad for the first 45 minutes. I was heading back in to finish up on the trainer so I didnt completely freeze and I am just cruising and listening to some tunes. A few miles from home a car came up behind me (45 mph zone) and proceeded to not slow and keep going right past. Usually not a big deal, but it was today. All I saw for the next 10 seconds was slush everywhere. In my face, all over my body and all over my bike. I have no idea how I kept the bike upright goin 22 mph without being able to see at all. After the "smoke" and slush had been dispatched onto me, I had enough left in me to give the guy the finger for a solid 30 seconds. About a mile down the road I see his car stopped at a light and knock on his window and verbally assault him while brushing my clothes off into his open window. One good turn deserves another I thought. Hope all is well with everyone!!!
