The Hazards of Gotham

Although I didn't manage to score any extra work in the new Batman film (as I did on Batman Begins), I have been riding my bike through Gotham City every morning, as I work about a block from Wayne Tower, a.k.a. The Chicago Board of Trade.

Yesterday, I was hungover and riding with my head down, staring at my feet. Great idea for riding in traffic. But at 5 a.m., the threat isn't from crazy taxis, it's from burnt-out helicopters on the sets of major motion pictures. Some asshole left this thing in the bike lane, and I almost crashed into it. I would've hated to dent such a valuable prop.
