The view from my window in my new apartment.  This is the foot bridge right in front of campus.  

I leave my door and it takes me just 5 minutes to walk to the classroom where I teach.

It couldn't be an easier commute.

There's a man who sells cold water right there on the sidewalk in this picture.  

He whistles to get drivers' attention while they're stopped at the light.  

Every morning I wake up to his whistles, which sound like he's calling for his dog.
