The Back Page is where the feet go up on the desk at the end of the day. It’s that good book with a mug of hot cocoa just before bed. It’s where we goof off after a hard day’s work. The Back Page is our blog.

So I was sitting in morning rush hour traffic, waiting to make a left hand turn. Though I deal with it daily and should be used to it, I still marvel at the volume of cars on the road in the morning and evening.

But while I was sitting in my left hand turning lane, I noticed the kinds of cars in front of me. A BMW. An Audi. An Acura. Two newer Hondas. A Corvette.

And I figured that although to some, America might be the country where you can walk in and get anything you want, you can’t call even the wealthiest person with the nice car lazy.  They spend their entire day getting to, being at, and getting home from work.

And I don’t know why, but it’s just kind of interesting.

    Americans, rich or poor, work more and spend less time off than any other country in the world. No one can blame us for being lazy.

No, probably not.
Are you okay with that?
Are we meant to create truth or
Are we meant to find it?
