have you ever walked under an overpass?

So,today I found myself leaving work early. Okay, not early, but earlier than I have been. I am usually the last one to leave in my department, but I did leave today before one other person. When I arrived home, I decided that it was such a beautiful day and so, I decided to go for a walk. I found myself just enjoying the beautiful weather. In fact, I love this time of year-where it is not too hot nor too cold--it is just right.

I ran into some friends--chatted, noticed all the brightly colored sunflowers, was approached by a drunk, smoking black man (hmm....a story in itself), and then....

I walked underneath an overpass.

Okay, I know it is strange, but I have never walked underneath a overpass. Have you? Well, I found it a tad bit creepy--everything was echoing. The cement walls that are at an angle are kind of disturbing. I would never want to be under one of those during an earthquake. Another thing is that you could hear the cars passing overhead--they were kind of echoing. I really did NOT like it. Then, as I was midway through--a car came speeding by. The noise from the car was a tad bit strange. It kind of reminded me of being in a tunnel, but different. Did that make sense? So, the next time you walk under an overpass--listen and let me know what you hear.

P.S. I am grateful for beautiful weather, long walks, cell phones, cold glasses of water, and daylight.
