Shared Difficulty

I spent a large amount of time today on buses and streets commuting through what amounts to trauma for Seattlites - snow. It was a wonderful experience. People smile and laugh at strangers with a camaraderie that only shared peril brings. It warms the cockles. It is akin to a group of triathletes reminiscing about pain or diarrhea sustained during events. It is like the way former junkies chuckle together over the common experience of pain and diarrhea sustained while kicking.
It's good to share.
