From point A to point B.

I have concluded that on average I spend a bare minimum of 3 hours a day on a bus or waiting for a bus. Public transportation, when taken as your main form of movement creates strange psycogeography. You are forced to interact with sections of your city that you may normally skip over and you are forced to allow the system to dictate your daily route and time schedule.
The very practice of getting through the city to the campus that I have class in, my workplace or other places I frequently visit often turns into a strange examination of human movement and society. A study of separate neighborhoods and social systems as well as an observation of psycology (both my own and those riding with me).
The act of going out on an evening excursion becomes a strategy game. If I leave at X time I will need to take X bus, walk through X neighborhood for X amount of miles in order to arrive at home. The strategic planning will include taking into account the possible difficulty and dangers of such an expedition and may even determine if the event is worth the risk.
Denver is, for the most part, a safe city. Still, it is a fact that all populations have their seedy side and the movement through them, from point to point involves enough risk to need acknowledgment.
Movement is a risky endeavor, physically, mentally and socially. Yet movement is not only necessary but inevitable. Everything moves, shifts, changes. Nothing is ever still, at least not in the nature of the reality that I am aware of.
