Misty
Burger, tater-tots, sausage and baked beans were finished off with a cool mango-pineapple smoothie from cold stone creamery. That and a movie later, I knew the ride back home from my friend’s house would be great, especially since it was past 10:30 PM.
The roads were empty and the air was cool. Some humidity was being formed into mist as I quitely cut through it on my bicycle. The five and a half mile ride was very refreshing, probably one of my best rides at night. The sounds of frogs croaking and insects chirping was accompanied by a background score of the wind swishing by my ears. I could see the busy JT Butler Blvd through openings in the trees. Impatient cars rushed by on it while I pedaled through the misty and empty AC Skinner Rd. People do not realize how much more there is to gain by slowing down a bit.
The unsoiled late night air got me motivated to do a little bit more in preserving its sterility. It got me thinking about the cans of dog food and plastic water bottles that I throw away. My usage of cans is two a day and if I can find a place that recycles cans, I could gather them and take them to the center. I have already talked about using a filter for water to reduce my plastic bottled water usage. Even though Zphyrhills have been making their bottles with 30% less plastic, it should still be either recycled or not used at all.
Over the next week, I will be researching recycling centers near my apartment. Updates will be posted.
