   Actually that's the one part where I will part company and say it's might   
   not be as farfetched as some of the critics say it is.  The thought occured   
   to me just in this moment, to imagine all the thousands of strangers I've   
   unknowingly crossed paths with in the course of just a month of living.  If   
   tomorrow I were to get to know someone new, I don't think it would even   
   register that a few years ago we were both in one of many shoestores in   
   various towns or cities or burbs in and around the area.  And the galaxy is   
   a much larger place than a shoestore.   
      
   I'm not rabidly attached to this idea, so no talk of "idiots who can't read   
   for comprehension" please.  As I said, it's just a thought that occured to   
   me today in the moment.  And so I felt like putting it forth for dissection.   
   No more, no less.
