Isolation

Sometimes, it’s nice to think about “getting away from it all”. For some people that means getting on a plane and leaving the country; for others, it means driving down to Taco Bell. But if total isolation was an option, would you go for it?

I’m thinking a secluded cabin in the woods, without a slew of electronic goodies. No phones, no net access, no person-to-person contact (well, outside of the grocery store)… like Robinson Crusoe, as primitive as can be.

I’m in the camp that thinks it might be nice for a day or two. But then, I’d start thinking, “How am I going to get my clothes dry cleaned?” and it’d be all over.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
