Suburbia

This weekend I listened to a man talking on the radio. He said that he would never walk into a forest because it would scare him. The only way he would walk into a forest is if he could see a Starbucks.

We must have our "natural" surroundings manicured, fluffed and coifed. Take out those wildflower weeds, replace them with petunias and neatly trimmed holly bushes. We don't need any of that uncontrolled wild stuff in our yards!

I'd rather walk in the forest without the Starbucks.
