    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Sheesh ... some people.

    If I'd been the owner of that car behind he constantly bumped into, I'd have been pissed ... especially if I caught him pulling that silly maneuver.

    Now, this kid knows what he's doing:

    Indeed, what was the front of the car like that had the misfortune to have been behind him!

    Really? I kinda like it. I see it as a little bit of a challenge.

    I hate parallel parking, I avoid having to do it like the plague. Luckily, I live in a place where there's more than enough of every other kind of parking space instead.
