My travel to work is now strictly by LRT bus and since the New year I've taken to riding upstairs as it provides a different outlook on the world. Some days even find me on the seats at the very front, though I refrain from "driving the bus". Small children and parents will understand that reference.
What I have noticed now our steets have been jet-washed by driving wind and rain is the level of chewing gum splatter on the pavements. There's hardly a square foot that is not covered in the stuff; which brought a couple of thoughts to mind. How does the damn stuff get there in the first place? The streets are not full of gum gobbing trolls so I reckon it's distribution must be more akin to the subtle but widely practised art of public nose picking. Keep an eye out for that one. And paving slab manufacturers are definitely missing the boat in not providing artificial gum enhanced products. Surely architects and urban planners would just love the chance to provide that authentiic city-scape feel to their new developments. But I wouldn't want it on my patio. Anyway, watch your step.
