The American Life

As I sat waiting for the ferry to Seattle I observed the car next to me. A youngish middle aged woman in an SUV sat drinking out of a pink coffee mug. Was there a kid in the back seat?

It doesn’t matter where you are. You will see a woman much like this.

Or you will see what I saw when cars began to load. A prius with a personalized licence plate and an obama/biden sticker. Either you will see this or a person equally as proud of a pickup and a (pick your conservative) bumper sticker.

This is the American life.
