Well, it's happened again, and this time in my old neighborhood. Just goes to show, you ridicule something across town, and next thing you know, the madness is happening in your own backyard. I was driving over to my parents' when I saw the incredible sight:
A 14-16 year-old guy and his girlfriend were "hiking" up the street, the guy sporting a camelbak hydration system to keep the two of the from succumbing to the treacherous conditions of the Whispering Hills subdivision. But his precautions hadn't ended there. He was also sporting a khaki safari hat and professional walking stick—in contrast to his girl, who was woefully under-equipped.
Truly, I hope they made it around the block to the relative safety of their swimming pool.

How dare you mock the dark and unforgiving climes of suburbia. How far is it from where they were to the closest Starbucks... hmmm? Why don't you just make fun of Sir Edmund Hillary? Paris Hilton? David Livingstone? the older sister from Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Robert Bartlett?
The list goes on and on...
What I'm wondering is how David Livingstone made that list... ;)
It is based on nothing more than his love for a double-decaf, half-whip, half-foam, grande caramel macchiato. Oh, he also determined the course of the Zambesi and discovered Lake Nyasa.
But really, I wish you could have seen the man down a latté
To think, I never knew this--and most likely he cultivated this passion working with nothing more than a camp fire. Livingstone has just moved up proportionately in my affections.
But have you seen him down a latte? Are there photos?
photos... no, but I do have a rubbing.
He was maaaaad...
