A ride down busy Hwy 101 in search of a difficult solution

SAN FRANCISCO – GOING DOWN HIGHWAY 101

Lee Heidhues 8.7.2025

This afternoon I was transported via Uber and Yellow Cab through the streets and freeways of San Francisco and the surrounding areas.

Happily sequestered close by the Pacific Ocean in a quiet neighborhood of northwest San Francisco I rarely must confront the mayhem which is the American car centric life.

My everyday normal mode of transport is via foot and riding the buses.

I could only sit back and appreciate that I do not have to immerse myself in the normal daily routine of speeding down streets and highways in 21st century America.

There was definitely a reason for suddenly being thrown into the everyday maelstrom. A problem needs a solution and the only way of addressing it is to reach my destination via the mode of transportation I avoid. The car.

So, there I was hurtling through space like a visitor from the off world colonies. It was definitely a pleasure to return home to my house in the fog.
