discarded objects part 1

As I had mentioned earlier, cycle touring puts you close to the road. Since we started I have noticed discarded objects left forlornly on the highway shoulder. I wonder how they got there in the first place and also wonder what will happen to them eventually.

Three spoons, four bungee cords, a few large nuts and bolts from heavy machinery, and a sock are in my mental catalogue so far. I am still trying to come up with an explanation for the high proportion of spoons on the road, while trying not to think about what machinery might be malfunctioning because some critical part is lying on the shoulder I just biked over.
