   Yes, I have magnifying glass and binoculars. I can investigate the   
   very small world and the very far world. The small world is often   
   amazing, perhaps more interesting than the very far. Now I got a pair   
   of binoculars that can focus as close as 4 feet, which means I can see   
   the insects and plants. The spider is perhaps the best insect to   
   associate with a used car salesman. You walk in there and you ain't   
   coming out without a big debt. Why the poor isn't happy riding a bike?   
   Well, that's where predatory capitalism kicks in. You feel threatened   
   and intimidated, and you can't afford to get hurt.   
      
   After I lowered my expectations though I don't ride far and wide. I   
   just stay in this mile long beach path observing the ocean and the   
   people. Let me tell you, many of them are funny. They are prosperous   
   but they are miserable. All they got is this fancy path as if that   
   would make them happy. But they are not happy. They can't be happy.   
      
   I've been struggling with my identity as an insect but I think I'm   
   quite happy being the most humble. I'm happy now, really happy.
