13. Are you kidding?

The single precious resource that is absolutely finite is time. Why would I want to lose some of whatever time I've got left on the planet on them?

I'll be engaged in my usual evening routine; a book, a purring bundle of fur in my lap competing for space and attention with said book, and a jug of icy water to combat summer temperatures. I'll sneak up to watch the deer that's been bedding down in my yard, underneath a massive old-fashioned rose bush get settled for the evening, and pause now and again to listen to the feral cat that's taken up residence meow and scratch at the screen door, knowing that if I actually got up and approached the door, it would bolt for cover.

The tv won't be on, and if it were, the last thing I'd be watching would be the Republican Convention. That's like someone filming the activity in an open latrine.
