Why Is There A Glass Elevator On My Street?

I was walking my dog past the little 1920s bungalow that sits on the corner of my block yesterday. It is a sturdy house, painted a sensible shade of cream, and I have always felt it looked like a nice place to raise a family. I bought my own home in 2006 for what I consider a perfectly normal amount of money—a price that felt like a fair trade for the keys and a front porch. I like to think about that price often, usually while I am counting the spare change in my cup holder.

I have driven down Main Street every morning at 8:15 a.m. for the last twenty-one years. It is a ritual that provides structure to a world that feels increasingly loose at the hinges. Recently, however, I encountered a driver at the four-way stop who actually came to a complete, full, and—dare I say—unnecessary halt.

The vehicle, a pristine silver SUV with a roof box that has clearly never seen a speck of trail dust, sat there for three full seconds. They were waiting for a pedestrian who was still two blocks away, clearly just enjoying the crisp morning air. Meanwhile, I sat behind them, my blinker ticking like a metronome of justice. If we stop for everyone who is merely walking, we will never arrive at our destinations.
