I spend about 90 minutes in the car every weekday commuting into the city. I love being in the city…but the commute wipes me out! I do like to drive my own car….. and it’s nice to be able to leave when I need to…. So, in order to cure the boredom & the potential road-rage, I’ve been listening to books on CD I check out from the library.
Even though I’ve read the book: Dress Your Family in Courduroy and Denim, by David Sedaris, it’s nice to listen to him in my mornings & afternoons. His voice makes his words much more entertaining.
Here are some of my favorite parts of my commute:
i love looking at that both the orange and buildings against the American Industrial Center
when I’m wizzing through the 280 underpass the shadows are amazing. It also means I’m about to see the SF skyline soon.
I spend some of the commuting time thinking about the type of person who decides to paint their houses these colors. I appreciate their boldness and then I pick out which color I’d live in.
every now and then i get lucky and see a pedestrian walking across. They have no idea that I’m looking at them. I like watching their dark silhouettes move across the bridges.
It’s these small things that make the commute a little sweeter.
****i was NOT driving while i took these shots. i’m not that dumb ****
