The handle

Chances are you have no idea what the handle on your car looks like. Just like me.

It all started with an innocent walk with my wife on a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon. It was a crowded street fair and everyone there had a single goal. To have fun.

I, on the other hand, while wishing the same thing, can easily get distracted, (like the film "Regrets" at Coudal by Steve Delahoye) and fell into that state of mind the instant my wife stepped into a shoe store and I was left on the sidewalk bench in front of the store, sitting next to the other two knuckelheads (and their dog) waiting for their wives.

I don't really mind this because I have found that nothing can bore me as long as I have cars to look at. In any way shape or form. When I eat at an outdoor cafe, I find the table that faces the traffic. When I sit by a window, I look for the cars that drive by. And, I don't really care what cars drive by. They are all interesting in some way. Even the ones are are falling apart.

The trouble all started when a woman drove up and double parked directly in front of my "path". The words in my head switch from, "oh shit, look at that kick-ass 2008 M3" to "holy crap, WTF, i can't see shit now".

But, instantly, I notice the car door handle on her Honda Element and once she drove off, I start looking at all the other handles that drove by.

I started looking at the depth and variety thinking it would not be long until I got bored with that, and looked for something new. There can't be that many handles I thought.

Wow was I wrong. I now had a new task. A goal, a duty if you will.

Below is the start of what is sure to kill a hugely large amount of my attention and time. here we go...
