In Favor of Nature

The other day as I left my office in downtown San Francisco to meet up with fellow Monstro blogger Dan Baxter for his birthday celebration in the 5th row the Giants' stadium I passed by a tree as the wind rushed through the concrete corridors of Howard St. The wind caught this tree and lifted its ingeniously designed seed pod effortlessly from the branch and carried it aloft. It floated for a few moments until settling on the cold, barren sidewalk where it would dry up and die, mission unfulfilled, thwarted by a landscape the great creator could never plan for. Then I drank tons of beer and ate garlic fries and heckled like an idiot.
