Way lucky... you must have found a parking space right close to the place

Congrats!

Thanks toad, but you must step out of your big city mindset for a minute mmmkay?

This is northern Wisconsin....we don't have parking spaces, we have dirt.

So yeah, we got a pretty good spot.

I'm just fuckin with ya kind of but I really couldn't imagine how you folks live like that, the hustle & bustle, traffic, people trying to kill you, etc.

I'm feeling kind of stressed and high strung and I spent the better part of this week planting trees, mowing lawn, fixin stuff, how do you do what you do to get by day to day?

that's like some kind of bad tongue twister.

what can you do but do what you do to get by day to day. What the hell else would you do? If you knew what I do, and I knew what you do, and we knew what they knew and we do what they do and they do what we do, we'd all get through our day by day and wake up and say. " It's time to do what we do."

I dunno what other Cellar folks do about traffic, but my response is to work at home and only travel outside when the Others are mostly secured away in their homes or offices. I can make it downtown in a good half-hour at 1am and don't understand why people think traffic is a problem.

I have a less than ten mile commute, am driving "in" while others are driving "out" and drive "out" when nearly damn everyone else is asleep.

I just need to find a way around "having to deal with people."

My job would be much easier if I didn't have to deal with people.

Or at least quite as many of them.

I was the same way when I was nutwrangling.

For myself, I found that dealing with the crazy people was less stressful than the people outside the walls.

What about you?

I love crazy people. I hate drug users.

Actually, if we could just get rid of the junkies, I'd be worlds happier.

And yes, there is a lot less stress in dealing with crazy people, because you can leave out a lot of the bullshit ... you don't have to dance around things you're not supposed to say or ask or talk about. You can just be what woud appear brutally direct in normal conversation.

"well ... you have the right to refuse medication and treatment. Of course, if you're going to injure yourself or others, you lose the right to refuse. You have a question? What does that mean in a practical sense? Well, it's like this. You can take the pill we hand you, or I can have six really big guys join us here, and they will hold you down while your pants are pulled down and you get a shot from a nurse who climbs over the pile of guys to get to you. If you continue to be uncooperative, those same guys are going to pick you up and strap you down to an ambulance litter. No, we don't have straightjackets. We use four point restraints."

Traffic doesn't bother me much anymore...I lived in DC for a year. Sitting on I-95 in the morning for 45 minutes isn't really a big deal (though I don't do it very often these days).
