I began my career out of college as a news photographer. I carried a camera 24/7 and was always ready. Those days are gone. I have my iPhone, but getting it ready for photography eats up precious seconds. So I can’t show two of the coolest things I saw this morning: two men, in business suits, riding bicycles.
Imagine me doing the superior dance and chanting:
It’s working, it’s working, all this stuff we’re doing is working! 
The second thing I saw was easy to catch:
Uh… WTH?
The young lady driving this thing apparently felt entitled to park on the corral to make her dash into the Mudhouse for coffee a bit more convenient. Never mind that a motorcyclist might have come by looking for a place to park (and they have been parking there!).
This sense of entitlement isn’t just a car-driven phenomenon. It’s pervasive in our culture. Makes one wish that the golden rule held more sway.

Golden Rule? Maybe.
Makes me wish that five guys in full leathers on chopped Harleys had shown up while she was inside. If you know what I mean.
