I'm not sure this is what you had in mind, but I tend to remember incidents along my routes.
The pleasant incidents may be wildlife sightings, encounters with friends, people enjoying themselves at a park or front lawns, Cool lawns, beautiful landscapes. Nice people with nice dogs on this street, etc.
The less pleasant rememberences can serve to help keep me safe: Cross traffic tends to blow through that stop sign up ahead, There's a pothole around that blind corner, this is where I picked up those flats, there's a group of kids looking for trouble that congregate on that street up ahead. Mean, unleashed dogs on that block...Cars entering and exiting the highway on/off ramps do not stop for anything...etc.
Very cool video, by the way.
