Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Proving I have no life, there are things I've been thinking about. These are pretty much unrelated things, just random thoughts.
1:There is a very long, very boring road in Australia, that people fall asleep on, it's that boring. There are also some roads in Texas that will do that to you too. The problem is that the roads don't have much in the way of new things for drivers to focus on, so all the landscape starts to blur together. Okay, why doesn't someone make it manditory for every school class from grades K-12 to make a weatherproof sculpture as a class art project? It doesn't matter what it looks like, how ugly it is, whatever, as long as it doesn't look like a stretch of boring road. Then, they can take these sculptures and put them randomly about the road. Since every year, more statutes will be added, eventually, the areas will be well scattered with art. Then, older peices (that have become boring having been seen for so long) can be "retired" and new ones will replace them. It would be a lot less boring to drive on a road knowing that at any moment, you might see some really awe inspiring artwork made by kindergarten children, using poster paints and old plastic milk bottles.
Just for real "spice" people on the road crew would be required to move some of these around so they don't stay in the same location twice. So, you never know where that rocket ship made by Ms. Crispee's 4th grade class out of used lightbulbs and recycled popsicle sticks will be. Imagine how much more alert you'll be, as you say to yourself Now, where is the moose in the bikini made out of coffee cans and old lunch trays? I really don't want to miss that!
