I just came home from an event in a city. I'm not used to cities. Anyway, I finally get through that cluster**** to a restaurant for a bite. I thought it was grueling, all that stopping and idling and waiting, not to mention a few wrong turns on my part... but I got there and no sooner after getting to my table and starting to unwind a bit does a gaggle of kids start churning up the atmosphere at the next table. Hmm, they were the same kids I'd seen moments before outside, acting happier than pigs in poo because they found an 8 sq. ft. spot of grass amongst the concrete and traffic to roll around on. Anyhow there's one family unit there of 6, another of 5, etc. and I'm sitting there wondering, do they not notice THE SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER LUNACY THEY'RE SURROUNDED BY and the correlation of that to their fertility?!? MAN I can't wait to escape back into the sticks.

Had ample time to ponder the millions or hundreds of millions of idling cylinders- not propelling anything- that are going at any given point in time too.
