This is a favorite of mine. Any morning will find packs of runners around a scenic at times hilly run. This particular morning was about 40 degrees a few days after a major snow storm. The low level fog resulting from the melting snow and ice. Down a hill, into obscurity. Up a hill into the crisp, brilliant morning light. Down again, up again.
At times you cross paths with another runner, plugged into their own music, in their own bubble. 71,000 people per square mile plugged into their own lives, rubbing shoulders but completely detached from the others around them. A couple centuries ago most people lived lives confined to within a few miles of their homes and towns. Last names were usually unnecessary. A mass of people like this is just too much for the human brain to handle and by force you must retreat into your own space. Even if it is just in your head.
Nice place to visit. Wouldn't want to live here.
