back to the same coffee shop. as chance would have it, back to the same seat.
today it was three young women. eating lunch and sharing time.
content ranged from dietary restrictions to frog babies.
at 18 (i know because of their discontent with the drinking age in dubai) they knew things most didn't at that age. yet, much like the legal drinker, they presented in their own context. relied upon "facts" that had been told to them by people they trust, or respect, or deem to know.
passing on information, regardless of its validity to the next person
who will believe it.
i watched the republican debate hours later.
thought about stories. not so much about the content displayed in the media before me, but about their transfer.
about the pace.
