trafficjam10.5Dear Humans,

Yesterday morning I sat in traffic and blamed the car in front of me. But that car was stuck because the intersection in front of him was blocked. And that intersection was blocked because the intersection in front of them was blocked, and it all went back to the earlier wreck that closed a road we weren’t even on.

And then I looked around and saw all these semi-trucks and thought about my morning cup of coffee that came all the way from Guatemala, and how I live in this awesome world where I can get anything I want from anywhere in the world. But sometimes I sit in traffic.

We’re all connected. Our choices and actions have consequences we can’t always see. Think about that before you just blame the car in front of you.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
