Approximately 7:30 AM
My car, on the Meadowbrook Parkway, heading to Hofstra

- Another car as it passed me on the left.
The sound of the wheels as the car quickly moves.
- The engine’s high whine as it struggles to change gears
The engine’s roar as it coasts at about 65 miles per hour.
The music in the car playing very loudly; the cast recording of The Adding Machine: A New Musical.
My own coughing, quite frequently.
- Loud: my car is naturally pretty loud, as well as the cars around me, and my music is turned up even louder to compensate.
- Quaint
- The music playing on the radio.
The sound of my car’s engine chugging along.
The sound of my car’s engine wheezing as it barely chugs along.
