The world sticks to the paved roads. The roads are paths paved by industry. The paths are trails widened by the marketplace. The trails are hacked by the Weird, who leave the paved road for the sake of curiosity and wonderment. Where the Weird go, the world follows.

Many people are up in arms about $4.00-per-gallon gas. Not me. I’m trying to figure out how we can emulate that nonsense.
