Yea...it definitely was shocking for me, to say the least. My 'reality tunnel' is so vastly different it really is hard to even imagine being in the general norms there.

I had to think on how I wanted to even approach this for a couple days, even having to just talk it all out with @scaredycatguide last night. But this is the root of what came out of that and I'm rather comfortable with what I wrote here. :)
