In Which I am Confused

Every time I walk home – or anywhere, really – I cannot understand sidewalks. It's the right angle thing. It goes completely against my nature. It goes completely against human nature. When, when would I ever turn at a right angle, or anything resembling a right angle on foot if my direction wasn't controlled for me? (That's a rhetorical question, but if you're wondering, the answer is never.)

There are a lot of things I don't understand. Like people who want careers. Or young people who just want to settle down, are content to work a 9-5 job and stay in the same place they've lived for years. Or grocery stores, I really don't get something fundamental about grocery stores, and I'm pretty good at suspending my disbelief. 

Modern American society, I do not understand you.

I'm concerned about you. Do you still think wolves live in your bathroom?

No, they stayed in the linen closet when we moved.
