Re: Clouds (4.00 / 8)

I am convinced much of the tension in the world is due to people not spending enough time staring up at passing clouds.

Re: Clouds (4.00 / 2)

I agree. I've noticed that Europeans never look out the window. At work, in the tram or in the train, I am one of the few looking outside at the sun, the trees, the clouds, the weather, whatever is around.

I think that explains all those wars they had.
