#highway robbery

[facts-i-just-made-up]

Toll roads used to require payment in fruit from the native lands of travelers upon them. While a pineapple might pay the whole way from Brazil to Canada, one would have to bring dozens of smaller fruits to get from Sweden to France in an early example of “Highway Strawberry.”

Our building washing machine broke. And I've ordered a new one but the processing and delivery is a whole thing so in the meantime I'm in Laundromat City. And luckily the nearest laundromat is like barely a block away and it sits on this 1.25-mile triangle of streets that I sometimes run laps on. So really not a bad deal since I can put in laundry and then do my run until it finishes.

But I can't shake this perspective that I'm like, I throw my clothes in the big wet machine and get so excited about it I have to go be zoomie about it in circles for 30 minutes until the machine stops and I take my wet clothes back. Apex predator behavior.
