    Yeah I wanted to say something specific about not doing it in the city center, or do it when you’re driving past fields and trees. But I kept thinking of bumming out all the folks that probably don’t have such a resource available.

    It’s just one of those things I am lucky to have available, so I intentionally make use of it. I don’t even have to work in the office every day, but it’s a nice office and my very short commute has the option of being about 2/3 on a twisty country road. So it helps get me out of the house and/or awake sometimes.

    Oh and back to your PSA: if you are in heavy traffic and exhaust is an even bigger issue than debris particles, remember the air recirculate function on your AC.

      If your option is tell the truth or be a “bummer” then your only being an ass by lying to save others from reality.

      Shit sucks but it never gets better if we hide reality away and never speak of it.

      It only takes one right person to be bummed out to start a cascade effect that might create meaningful change. Never murder hope before it has a chance to even be born. Even if that means being a “bummer”.

        I started reading your comment here and formulating a reply in my head about how I was just limiting the scope of my comment and not lying and telling people to cast off responsibility and let Jesus take the wheel, etc.

        But then your third paragraph is SO on point that I withdraw any resistance to your message.
