A different world view...

Lately I've been fortunate that I've found a group of people who don't mind carpooling to events. They love the comraderie of traveling with someone else vs the freedom of having your own car when you need it. As I get more and more rides, the thing I notice is that even familiar streets look different from the passenger side. Restaurants that I've missed, trees that come out of nowhere. The same thing happens with my bicycle where I take alternate (read safer routes) and discover parts of my world that I didn't know. Driving is not just a mode of transportation it's a point of view.
