no great insights this morning - are there ever? - only questions.

why do men wear so much cologne to exercise in the mornings? some of the cyclists who pass me have such a chemical cloud around them, it makes my tongue and sinuses numb.

why do people wear headphones when on bike tracks, or indeed while outdoors at all? do they not value their physical safety? or appreciate their chance at silence, contemplation and real being-in-the-world?

and should I ring the RSPCA or the security company that appears to be responsible for the two constantly barking dogs locked in a shipping container in Northcote?
