Consider transportation.

Back in the days of the dinosaurs, when walking was the only way to get
around it would probably take you at least a couple of weeks to get
from DC to Durham. At least. I mean, walking that distance would just
about kill the average dinosaur, so they figured it was best not to
think about it and stay put and eat each other. Was extinction such a
surprise?

Then people came along and figured out that they could ride the animals
and, if they beat them, actually could go pretty fast. But still,
North Carolina was a long way away from Washington, and it still took
awhile. They weren't going to just head out from DC for any old
reason. It'd better be a damn good reason, like running from a famine
or hitting a huge sale at the burlap outlet in Hillsborough. These
were rough times. There were no road trips to hang out for the weekend
or anything and certainly no music to make the travel time fly. Misery
was the norm.

But now we have cars, and I don't think I'm letting out any secrets by
saying those things'll get you places in a right hurry. Hop in your
car, turn up the tunes and you can get about anywhere you want in no
time at all. We're free, people. Finally free.

If you think about it this way, the measly four hours--FOUR teeny
little hours!--it takes to drive from DC to Durham, NC to see The
Positions play the Duke Coffeehouse with Rocketfire Red this Saturday,
January 24th is absolutely nothing, a drop in time's ocean. You're
spoiled rotten and don't appreciate the sacrifices of our ancestors if
you don't make the drive.

Come on. Be cool.
