Hey Jeff. I laughed at the anecdote about the cars sitting at the traffic light. I often think of that exact situation, and as I can drive through red lights when i know it's safe (mostly when no one is around though).

Although i was unsure how i felt about your blog when you first appeared on steem, I was a little turned off by some of your more absolute statements, I've come to see you as a really interesting dude and appreciate you sharing your insights. It's clear that you have followed your heart and trusted in what you have learned.

I've come to a lot of the same conclusions about amercian culture and "the machine", in my own life, and definitely live with the mentality of creating your own reality. I'm curious if you have any advice on how to become an expat?
