Matter is composed of atoms separated by empty space through which the atoms move.
—Democritus
(c. 460 BC - c. 370 BC)

This ultimate stock we have devised to name Procreant atoms, matter, seeds of things, Or primal bodies, as primal to the world.
—Lucretius
(c.99 BC - c. 55 BC)

All things are made of atoms...
—Feynman
(1918-1988)

Sometime, beginning in June 2011, as I rearranged matter in my studio I began to keep a list of matter that blocked lanes on the freeway as mentioned in the traffic report. Each is a safety hazard, even "large pillows."
