upset list followed by an overwhelmingly happy list

unordered list

• fake out "don't cross" pedestrian signals at intersections
• exposure to burnt fumes, legal or not
• pure tobacco doesn't trigger a stop-inhale reaction, nor do many cigars
• my running late
• my running without a goal
• missing hopeful activities
• being intellectually challenged, but in a bad way
• still trying to define 'bad' myself
• direct or indirect threats to my person by 1-2 ton weapons
  
• as a pedestrian
• made me jump? You won't be. . .
• made me think about jumping? Expect a polite phone call from a Sergeant. . .
• drove over a curb? Yes, we were laughing at your off-road excursion.
• as a cyclist
• leave me space
• if I can touch your mirror, it is MINE
• change lanes to pass
• honking tells me that you see me; this is all I need to know
• I can learn this from glancing backwards and seeing you match my speed.
  
• the more noise you make, the slower I pedal.
  
• you're welcome to ride over the holes in the road; I'm skipping them so they'll be fresh for you
• rules of the road have nothing to do with freedom of religion
• if I follow the rules then I expect you will follow the rules
• as a motorcyclist
• I don't race; have a fun mile!
• rumour has it that dowels resemble shotguns. What do you see on the back of that hog?
  
• as an automobile driver
• wish: light armoured vehicle
• reason: I can ignore your lane-drifting antics
• reality: glad for the awareness from the bike course
• a motorcycle training weekend is a beautiful thing. Do it! Think amusement park!

ordered list (this one is the happy list)

1. My concerns have been, so far, as trivial as items in a list.
2. Health, family, and friends.
3. Innate curiosity.
4. So much freedom.
