driving cars and eating with plastic spoons

i'm quickly getting sick of driving my car the ten miles to and from work. i took the I-70 home the other night and realized that i drove farther and it took longer than taking colfax and rolling through d-town. but overall, i'm tired of driving, stuck in a car, no fresh air, poor drivers who don't pay attention to lights, other cars or themselves. get me my bike. but i have a choice. and i've chosen to drive the car. i could spend an extra hour every day taking the bus and riding the bike home (the cost comes out to be the same... paying for a bus ticket one way each day vs. a tank of gas and how many miles i get per gallon); or, i could spend that extra hour with my family. and i chose my family. i have time, no rush. the bike and the outdoors are always available.

on another note, i'm compiling quite the collection of plasticware. i've been packing the lunch for work every day and for some reason can't seem to pack myself a fork or spoon to take with me. luckily the corporation i work for has plasticware available for us to use. instead of throwing each spoon and fork in the trash, i bring them home to be washed and used at some later date... i'm sure we'll have some party or something where these will come into use.
