Riding at night: a strategy for survival?
Nothing new about it: The little furry mammals developed that strategy
to survive among the dinosaurs (which is why we are here)... Anyway, now my next door neighbor wants to ride at midnight... And he ain't one of those crazy bums on a Huffy. He even bought a vest with blinking lights (DUI drivers and SUV drivers chatting on the cell phone should be able to see him). And his bike cost him 2 grands (important in this hierarchal jungle where you are what you drive), so I guess he better find a use for it. The other day he told me he didn't have the nerve anymore to ride in traffic (he ain't no chicken, he's a veteran), which leads to this daring survival strategy. Actually, I do the same with my canoe, where the motorboats put me at the bottom of the food chain in the day time. Well, our dinosaurs (SUVs and motorboats) make us get smarter and get nocturnal. And I can only hope Darwin was right: "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." NOTE: I told my neighbor to knock on my door. Just in case I'm sleepless... WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote |
