<BR>
There are those days when I get up and I am ready to charge off, attack the hills, drag race cars at stop lights and generally just have a fun time on a bicycle.<BR>
<BR>
Then there are those days when I know I better take it easy, I need to recover, need to take it easy and just waddle up the hills on my way to work... It can be kind of boring and usually I forget myself and go harder than I want to.<BR>
<BR>
But recently I have discovered a new pleasure, a new way to keep alert, a way to pace myself...<BR>
<BR>
I count the number of cigarette butts along the of the road... <BR>
<BR>
For example, the other day between 52 and Governer north bound on Genesee, there were 114 butts. Last week south bound on Genesee from 52 up to Appleton-Lehrer, there were over a 120 butts but yesterday, there were only about 80.<BR>
<BR>
So I am wondering, is my counting technique so bad that I can miss 40 butts? Or did the city sweep the street and there are already another 80 butts out there?<BR>
<BR>
Further research is required...<BR>
<BR>
Note: One must always make spotting the cigarette butts the second priority, the first being attention to the road and traffic. <BR>
<BR>
On the lighter side, or is it Litter side....<BR>
