But will it lend?
With our anchor firmly embedded in the driveway, it’s time to conjecture about life (in a different dimension). What if we could travel? Where would we go? Or as an alternative, what if we loaned our travel gear to someone else. Say, the kids…
There’s always a pertinent discussion underway, somewhere on social media. Take the idea of loaning your travel gear: actually, the consensus is clear. Don’t do it. Others are unqualified to use your stuff, in the manner to which you have become accustomed. And that goes doubly, during a plague.
Here’s the mental image, given up by one pundit. “Go to a park and sit for a few hours, watching the newbies trying to park their rigs. That could be your rig, under different circumstances”. And with that one visual, you know that you will loan NOTHING to NOBODY.
I tried an different tack. What if we loaned our DOG to someone else? And again, NO DOG to NOBODY. I could visualize an open door, and the hound headed for the hills. Without a map or a GPS to find his way back home. Guess I won’t be loaning the hairy fella out, either.
Out of boredom, I tried to think of something else I could lend. And I came up with nothing. Perhaps a snow shovel, but forget the fun stuff. Took too much energy to acquire most of the shiny toys. I might go with a book, but that’s because most people that know how to read have acquired the basic tenets of civilization.
