I am a star!

Big Brother is watching me.
I left the house yesterday morning and started my usual routine. I noticed there was a camera on the bus I take on the way into work. That started my journey into the land of big brother, the minuet I stepped on the bus. I walked down 6th street, there were cameras mounted on different buildings along my route. I arrived at my office, the local police department, key card access and lots of cameras. I spent my 8.5 hours at work: during my lunch break at the picnic table, there is a camera. I headed back down 6th street, back on a bus with another camera and got off at home. So far, 10 hours of my day available for play back.
I hopped in the car and headed to the local bank to get some cash. A camera poked its head out of the ATM. I headed next to the grocery store, cameras there looking for shoplifters and such. I paid my bill and headed out to the parking lot: a sign said the parking lot was monitored for the patrons and employees safety. I headed down the street and there was a camera mounted at the stop light: these for traffic control but again I was on someone’s screen. I turned into my driveway and took my groceries into the house. I was finally off camera for the evening. That would be from 8:00 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. that my daily routine could be tracked by someone.
I doubt anyone would want to keep track of me, but should I ever disappear there would be plenty of electronic bread crumbs to see what happened to me. Unless I was at home in my surveillance camera free home.
