I noticed more of the character of the various neighborhoods around my block and have enjoyed exploring these areas. I live on a busy street, so it's pretty common for left turning drivers to cut me off as I'm crossing the street, they are usually anxious since if they wait to turn they'll likely  miss the light due to congestion from on coming traffic. I wonder if faster public transit would get more car off the road.

I always load my plate up with food than realize that I throw out 25% at the end. I bet I will see some grocery savings by using a smaller plate and and therefore not throwing as much out.

I spoke with a company the other day that mentioned making a product that lasts longer at the cost of a higher price. I usually just get the cheapest thing on Amazon and reorder it every time it breaks. It makes me think that it could make way more sense to spend the extra money and throw less out.

Going to pick up my bike from maintenance and then will ride it home. Should be neat since it is in  a new part of town.
