A truer statement you have never spoken. I don't have any idea what the typical day is like for you or Europeans, but for many here, we are victims of what I have dubbed "The Encapsulation Theory." Here it is in a nutshell: people get up in the morning and get ready for the office....they leave their house and take two steps into their garage, hop into their car, hop out and take a few steps in the outside air into their air conditioned office building...leave the office building and head for the gym for an indoor workout...hop back in the car and head home...park in the garage and enter the house for the evening. There is very little communing with our natural earth surroundings. We are not in touch with the earth, we are encapsulated. We have lost our soul connection to the earth.

This is why I love mountain biking, hiking, camping, and climbing. I feel more alive in the outdoors, more connected. Office buildings equal disconnection. I would never survive in a Corporate America scenario. And movie theaters...don't get me started. Excuse me Patrick, I must now run outside for some air, I'm suffocating.
