One of the true revelations of canceling Netflix and observing life is the emergence of patterns.  What can our local gas station instruct us on how we have evolved as a society?  They’re certainly shinier and most typically offer car washes.  The little screens say ‘thank you’, offering a wide variety of payment options and occasionally play short branded video content.  And the more convenience allows us to fixate on the trivial blasting through our devices, the more we can tune out the flesh and blood human beings around us.  I don’t recall when I first started driving, the notion…
