It's simpler to pay attention and log Susan out of Google <i>before</i> I comment.<br /><br />I agree with you. Marking territory is deeply rooted in our animal DNA. Maybe that accounts for all the litter.<br /><br />The hacked up floor in the office's underground garage is completely inadvertent of course. If you're going to park a PTW, the odds are you'll use the centrestand, especially if it's a scooter. I see marks from my sidestand too, which I only use briefly when mounting and dismounting when my computer bag obstructs the step-through space.<br /><br />I conclude that the coating they've used on the floor is too soft for PTWs. They're the professional garage operators, they'll figure it out. Or not.<br /><br />In the meantime, I've left my mark(s). It's not as bad as the person who parks their older VW cabrio a few spots over. There's enough oil on the floor that soon I'll need a hazmat suit just to walk by it.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-19582953737643084412014-07-26T11:44:05.573-04:002014-07-26T11:44:05.573-04:00From the early days we were destined to leave our ...From the early days we were destined to leave our marks all over the planet. From cave art and petroglyphs to their modern form of blogging.

Too tall an order I think. Heck just providing enough entertainment for you, and Bob and Brandy, and Karen, and Michael, and Dave, and Peter, and Rob, and Dar, and Roland and Sonja, and Deb, and Keith, and Steve, and Doug, and Paul, and Bill, and Mike, and Tom, and... phew it's no small challenge.

Is there a need to be remembered beyond the next couple of generations?<br /><br />For example, you know that some pharaoh built some pyramid but you don't hear anything about him beyond that.
