Touched nerve? Hardly. I've long been used to the infantile sniping of the keyboard warriors who will say most anything online, but would most certainly show a bit less bravado in a face-to-face conversation. And as far as getting a video camera to record your driving habits, most people are smarter than to put anything in their car that may record their own poor driving habits and incriminate them in the case of a text-induced crash. Blowing Stop signs and failing to yield ehh? Same old broken record, repeated from another broken record, repeated from someone who never actually saw a cyclist do this but made it up just to have something to jaw about. Yeah, there are a few foolish cyclist out there, but tell me, how many more people a year die from breaking the rules in car "accidents" compared to cycling wrecks caused by the same? Too bad about your nerve damage. I'll try to understand why I'm getting bathed in wiper fluid. You'll of course understand why you keep having to pick up energy gel packets off your lawn. Cheers!

SAVANNAH (AP) — Federal authorities in Savannah have charged 33 people as part of an undercover operation into gun and drug trafficking. A majority of those named in 17 federal indictments that were unsealed Wednesday are from Georgia and South Carolina. The investigation, dubbed Operation Pulaski, began in late 2011. Undercover federal agents infiltrated multiple regional and international criminal organizations. Over time, the agents bought 189 guns, illegal drugs and stolen vehicles. Investigators found that the vehicles were stolen from the New York City area and were brought to the Southeast for resale or to be shipped abroad and sold. Authorities believe 26 of those arrested are convicted felons. Eleven are believed to be in the country illegally. A number of the guns the undercover agents bought had also been reported stolen.

They quickly determined that the driver, Jeremy Clay Corn, age 35, of 142 Ellis Road, Rome, had an outstanding warrant for his arrest from the Calhoun Municipal Court.

HPV vaccine cut infection by half in teen girls

ATLANTA (AP) — Researchers say a vaccine for a sexually spread virus has cut infections in teen girls by half. This is the first evidence of how well the HPV vaccine works since it came on the market seven years ago. For girls ages 14 to 19, the study found a 56 percent reduction in the types of HPV virus targeted by the shots. Vaccination campaigns focus on girls ages 11 and 12. Many men and women are infected with the human papillomavirus during their life. Most don't develop symptoms and clear the infection on their own. But some infections lead to genital warts, cervical cancer and other cancers. Results of the study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were released Wednesday.

Somebody touched a nerve; as evidenced by the not so veiled reference to the second license. Be informed: No matter how charming the Spandex derrière, it always represents a hazard to navigation and potential litigation. FYI: everyone should invest in a dash-mounted GoPro camera and not leave the driveway without it!!! I know for a fact “taking the lane” a.k.a. impeding the flow of traffic, say in a 45 MPH No-Passing-Zone while peddle-pushing all of 5 MPH (a speed differential that earns a ticket in a vehicle) is considered sport by some of the “coordinated” protected class. You stragglers are the worse! They seem to appear from nowhere and tend to be the most demanding of other's tolerance. I imagine blowing Stop Signs and deliberate Failure To Yield is worth shaving a little off last year’s time. Strange, how the automatic windscreen washer mysteriously comes on while overtaking these road hazards. Must be a program glitch; say an automatic response to the mass concentration of pudendal nerve damage. Who knew?
