How much do you see?

[coyote]

They are widening the freeway. I have to go under it to get to and from work. Traffic is majorly backed up. I'm in a hightened sense of awareness becuase trying to keep track of those coming out of driveways, turning, moving over into the bike lane to get a better view. Now that I'm writing about it...it sounds pretty sucky. I do enjoy getting to work faster then all those poor saps in the lines of cars. I'm just not seeing much of anything.

I see road kill; small toy jeep, no wheels, broken cellphone, interesting blue box, a quarter! (no i didn't pick it up and it was gone the next day), phone cards, lots of broken bungees...
I pass two schools complete with school crossing guards one of which recognizes me and says hello, a vegetable market and a minimarket.
I cross over the interstate highway and laugh at the incredible traffic backups
and of course I get to ride my bike in the morning through an empty factory building where they used to build airplanes from 1943-1988.
