Went for my daily constitutional (the walking one, not the other one ) and it occurred to me part of the way to my destination to take a traffic survey of the vehicles passing me. I made two classifications, cars and others which was all pickups, minivans, and SUVs.

First leg saw 90 trucks and 57 cars = 39% cars. Second leg saw 110 trucks/55 cars for exactly 2:1 when I stopped counting, because that leg had been running pretty much 2:1 the entire time.

Perhaps if I do another survey before nightfall I can count how many zombie drivers have phones stuck to their heads.
