Nearly a decade ago, I had a mental *shift of perception* wrt to automobiles. Many people seem to deal with them, without realising this, as a machine they have an overwhelming need not to be too far from their own, and go to all manner of efforts and expense to operate this machine amongst other such machines and then find and, if necessary, rent a storage location near their destination, only to repeat the process when it is time to take part in activities elsewhere, even if it is only two blocks away. For many people, it is treated as the same as a woman not being without her purse, or an outdoors sales person wrt their cell phone, or a smoker without their smokes. -- Mark L.
