There's alot you can see while on the road. Like.. the color and styles of cars, all the terrible drivers , all the flowers people have outfront of homes and businesses, kids playing at the parks, etc. And then there's the things you see that make you scratch your head.. Like shoes being in the road.. what happened? Did they not have their shoes on right but have their feet out the window so the shoe(s) just fall off? Who even does that? Why didn't they go back for the shoe(s)? What do they do with the other shoe? Or.. when you see a new building being constructed, right near an empty building the same size.. why? Wouldn't it be cheaper to fix Whats wrong with the other building then pay to make a whole new building and everything? Or.. Cars not pulling over for the emergency vehicles, like they're supposed to. Does anyone even get ticketed for not pulling over? Never see any cops around to do anything to those who keep going.. but they're supposed to. What kind of things do you notice while on the road.?

I notice those things, too. Now, we have to watch for idiots texting while driving, even though it's against the law, and don't forget keeping an eye out for pedestrians crossing the street while texting.

When I was driving, I remember people standing at the traffic light to cross and instead of paying attention to that, staring at me in the car..lol what?

I see the things that you do but also pieces of furniture along the interstate. I would think that a person would know if a piece of furniture bounced out. I do often wonder about the shoe. I had to laugh when you commented about it falling off while someones feet were hanging out the window. Believe it or not I do see that quite often.

@Courtlynn Maybe they bought a new pair of shoes and threw the old ones out.

I don't drive but when I am in the car with my hubby I sometimes look around me when we drive somewhere. I've seen shoes hanging from lamp posts, wires, and even traffic lights. I've seen socks, diapers and dirty underwear on the ground. Really? Haven't people heard of garbage cans? And these are just some of the things I've come across.

@Courtlynn Just like you, I've seen shoes, socks, book-bags, many strange things to just lose. Many cars don't pull over, for emergency vehicles, that's terrible. Our McDonald's Restaurant wasn't 10 years old. They tore it down, then built another one! How crazy? People standing in the road, visiting with others!

Oh those are some good points. I have wondered the same thing about socks/shoes on the road. Like how did that happen? Esp. when it's only 1. I also do not care for the waste of entire buildings. I have noticed how there seems to be groups of colors of cars together driving/parked. like, 7 white cars in a row at the stop light. Or 12 white cars parked near each other....

People driving Super slow and either Texting or talking on the phone. Why not get one of those Cell phone cradles to where you just talk into your phone and it pulls up what you need and will even give you difrections.

I've always said I'd rather people drive slow and careful than speed and cause an accident. But i hate when people use their phones while behind the wheel.

I am often busy dealing the jerk honking their horn insisting I make a right turn plowing into a pedestrian or left turn to get t-boned just because they are in a hurry to make a turn.

I remember when I first took my scooter to town. It was so exciting. I could drive right up to a window and look inside and see what they have. I have seen people put shoes on a wire above and things in the street and the roads are horrible and so are the sidewalks too. I can ride in the street or on the sidewalk. One time a cop told me to move to the other side when I was driving my scooter in the street because it is slow. I could not get over then because there was too much traffic and I could have been hit. The next time I went on the side where he told me to go. When I first got it and made lots of mistakes and it got away from me a policeman helped me get it under control.

Every time, I ride a bus or vehicles (I don`t know to drive) I always prefer to sit near the window. I love looking outside and watching the passing scenes. This way helps me to reflect and to be amazed by the beauty of our nature. How beautiful to live in a world that God blessed.
