Apparently part of gr8080's commute is by canoe? Mine is by bicycle, so I suppose it's possible.
Anyway, lots more that I get to see.

My commute is a one block walk from my house to my office, so there's not much but a couple weeks ago I encountered a duck family that needed help crossing a wide street. (they were on their way to the LA River/Griffith Park side of the street)

The city put stop signs on our new roundabouts not long after they installed them, partly because people didn't know how to use them, but also because some of the properties on the corner had 6 ft or better hedges right up to the property line, so visibility sucked.

in the morning i am often on the same train/get off at the same stop/work in the same building as this woman with long very straight black hair halfway down her back. she is maybe early 30s, olive-y complexion but not obviously of a particular heritage, slightly taller than average but otherwise a regular well-dressed young woman. she walks faster than i do.
but it's like her hair lacks friction or something? she always looks like she just stepped out of a pantene pro-v commercial; her hair is *shimmery* with each strand seemingly separate from its fellows.
i have no particular opinion on this look, but it is notable. she is 'the woman with the hair'.
there are other repeating characters, though mainly on the way home: 'the small woman i think is french for no good reason', 'the guy with the overstuffed backpack who simply must grasp the subway bar with both hands', 'the african preacher with tremendous enunciation' etc.

when I commuted there was a girl who got off at my stop and walked my same route to work every day. I never saw what station she got on at, I never saw exactly where she worked, honestly half the time I never saw her get off the train but just in that moment when I wasn't really thinking about anything, BOOM there she'd be every time, always about half a block ahead of me. always wore blue furry earmuffs, a long black skirt, and one of those rubber backpacks that had spikes on it. she had white blond hair. I saw her up close one time & she had white eyelashes and eyebrows too. I called her my Albino Nemesis.

in the front garden of a corner house i walk past on the way to work is a tree, and in the tree is a cuddly panda. the thing is filthy but it appears to belong to the householder because it's been there month after month, sitting high up in its tree. the garden is neat and looked-after, with a little rockery and a cute plaque saying something to the effect of "home sweet home" iirc. i keep meaning to photograph the panda but i don't want to get caught.
