Most everyone knows of, or is friends with, or is related to, one of those dedicated bird watchers who tick off each species they get a glimpse of.
The list of birds is called a life list, and the joy is to see how many different species you spotted before you kick the bucket. So, it's kind of like Jack Nicholson's and Morgan Freedman's bucket lists.
For us non-birders, I humbly propose a more humble list. It's called: "What's in the Road?"
With today's high winds, it should be easy to get a head start on spotting pavement detritus. See how many of these you can check off (and add) before you kick it
