Why?

Last night I was driving home after a lovely meal at Linwood's in Pikesville with a dear friend, and I was feeling philosophical. The question, "Why?" kept popping through my head.

- Man with expensive dress shirt and wrist watch talking on the cell phone, gesticulating wildly with his hands, driving on the beltway in a Mountaineer - no mountains, extreme sports equipment, or even mud on the vehicle to be found (of course the same question could be asked about the many vehicles I see daily, including the 'Voyager', the 'Caravan' [don't you have to have more than one vehicle to be considered a 'caravan'?], the old 'Explorer', the 'XTerra'....I could go on)

- Solar landscape lighting placed here and there around a memorial garden, as though someone might stop by at night...and as though those little dim lights would be enough to see anything anyway

- Driving behind a generic Honda Accord, sporting a single bumper sticker: Crafter on Board! (shaped like a yellow traffic alert sign), (somehow not as offensive as 'Baby on Board!' - which to me implies that if I didn't know about the baby, I'd somehow drive like an unsafe a$$hole around you)

Just my random thoughts.
