Manhattan in the morning is a living stream of Purpose; everyone's got a place to be and a problem on their mind. That doesn't mean it's and unfriendly place -- just busy and preoccupied. Personally, I love it. I'm a social creature but there are times and places you just don't want to do more than grunt at your fellow human being.

I am a trained professional liar. Do not read me as a textbook.

Civilization did not come with fire. It came with the discovery of how to use fire to heat water.
