No, I'm not suicidal. Just busy.

Went to a fast food joint to pick up a burger for lunch today.

No, I'm not suicidal. Just busy. Figured I could use the break at lunch to get a few non-work (or non-paying work) things done, so a quick burger would get me there.

Anyway, found myself looking at the actually kinda pretty border of ornamental shrubs next to the drive-through—a bunch of nicely watered plants, the beds dressed in pine bark mulch, all sitting next to a yellow plastic sign with airbrushed pictures of burgers—and thinking: it's almost disprespectful of living things to put them here.

Poor things. I'm sure they'd rather be growing in a nice, pretty meadow somewhere.
