so, it seems like everybody's gone today, and it's giving me a taste of what this place could be like.

i've got the sun beaming in through huge bay windows, a nice breeze coming through and a couple of large trees outside the window, overlooking a yard with kids and dogs.

no smokers.

no potheads.

no bbqs.

no bad music - no music at all.

no drunks.

no idiots.

just something rather peaceful, and something rather clean, and something rather healthy.

the weather is quite beautiful today.

i'm sure the fuckers will be back in their usual places within a few hours, and immediately commence ruining everything. but, this reprieve is demonstrating how disappointing the scenario really is - and how wonderful it could actually be.
