Leicester

You must pad about on little cat's feet because there wasn't even any footstep jar to them. I had to chuckle ay the camera looking both ways crossing the street.

Nice. Just...nice.

I don't know about anyone else, but watching this video by SG left *me* feeling a little misty. Thousands of miles away, on a chilly, rainy Fall afternoon, people are going about their lives, almost indistinguishably from the way that I go about my own life. Just a few weeks ago, Selene and I were at our City Market here in KC, seeing, smelling, hearing much the same things as SG showed us in the video. Christmas is similarly making an ever earlier appearance here, same as is evidenced in her video. Families move with purpose, children in tow, men and women examine the wares and probably pat themselves on the back for making a better deal on better produce than they could have gotten at the supermarket.

Somewhere else in the world, people are devising ways to kill other people, blow them into tiny bits in some godforsaken shithole; people who probably have had experiences much the same as what we just shared with SG and her Leicester community. People with children in pink coats, clutching balloons and whining that they want to go home.

Why in the name of all that is Holy do we kill each other? Why can we not all live in harmony, and shop for our vegetables in peace?

Why do I think of shit like this just from watching a simple video of daily life?

Because Sundae Girl brings out the best in you, too.

The problem, I think, is that some of these people are killing each other in the name of all that is Holy to them.
