Paving the way

When the neanderthals were beginning to disappear, homo sapiens’ ability to adapt and learn enabled them to persevere. In our species more recent history we’ve given up on this ability in exchange for adapting our surroundings by paving over the environment.

If that weren’t bad enough, nowadays, we sophisticated monkeys bitch and scream when there’s still snow on the roads and sidewalks a few hours after a snowfall. We slip on our spiffy impractical fashion footwear and then whine we’re unable to traverse the messy slop and slippy ice. So rather than apply simple logic, and wear the appropriate footwear, we selfishly expect spotless thoroughfares instantly, continuously at whatever the cost.
We live in a winter wonderland people, adapt.
Have a hoot, wear big boots
