Drive by for what reason?

So I decide to go on a bike ride after dinner on a beautiful, warm evening. I am enjoying my ride on trails nearby the house and on the road to coast down the big hills. As I am on a hill I feel something hit my ass, and hard, so I turn to see a car flying by within inches of my face with a hand that brushes my body as they drive off. After yelling at these young foolish F*$%@#, I see a police car turning left right as the Explorer with the two punks pass. I chase the police officer down to tell him what happened. He writes down the car information and procedes to tell me that he is going to another call and will "look into it if he can." He also told me that he was, "glad I wasn't hurt."

What does that mean? These young fools not only ruined my bike ride, they left me feeling violated and unsafe. I rode back to my house as fast as I could looking over my shoulder the entire time. this is not how I should be feeling on a beautiful after dinner evening ride. I should be enjoying the serenity and quiet that I get as I am able to escape for some time of own. Shame on that cop. If it was a woman cop that I chased down would the reaction have been different? Yes the cop was concerned and relieved that he wasn't going to a call about a woman who was pushed off her bike and laying in the street with who knows what kind of massive injuries, but what about the fact that these young kids think it is okay to do that to a woman on a bike? Would they have done that to a man, or a even a child riding their bike?

So much has raced through my mind about this incident. I am left to just let it go now and hope these kids don't really hurt someone later. I am also left to think that a cop who could have easily witnessed the incident drove on without batting an eye and taking way too long to notice the woman chasing after him on a bike will hopefully not let it go the next time he receives information like this as his next call may be much worse.

I am left to feel fortunate (how crazy to think that anything about this is fortunate, but fortunate nonetheless) that I wasn't hurt or victimized in a way that really could have been much worse. I will let this go and move on, though it is sad that these kids, and they were kids, scrawny teens with hats turned to the side, seat backs almost fully reclined and all could drive off without any expression whatsoever. These kids didn't laugh, yell or anything. They stayed straight faced as they raced off. This is what bothers me most.

pretty darn cute!


What a sweetie! She's waiting desperately for the tooth fairy to visit now. Raya's hoping that by smiling and showing the tooth fairy her pearly whites that it will speed up the process...
It's April 26th and it is snowing today!?!??

Tooth Fairy paid a visit!

So the Tooth Fairy made her debut at the Wehner house. Kellan lost his first tooth at school. Check it out:

Ok, my car. What is next to my car? NOTHING!!!! That's right, nothing!! Robert got rid of the bus, the bus is now off the driveway- nine months later, but it is gone!
