The Morning Commute

I swallowed a big dirty gulp of bus exhaust today on my morning walk to school. So much for a breakfast of champions.

It's usually so early in the morning that I don't pay attention to the sights, sounds and smells around me as I run out the door to school, but today my senses were on overload. Do drivers think that honking their horns endlessly when caught in traffic will really clear the intersection? Do buses always spew out such disgusting brown clouds every time they stop and go? Do the jackhammers always make so much noise when tearing up the sidewalk? Whatever happened to waking up and smelling the coffee?
