Friction

I adore Three Star Night’s fantastic web-comic format

I was contemplating friction on one of my commutes on perilously icy roads…

and I just knew I wanted to share it using TSN’s format:

You can move in a low-friction environment...but you can't steer. Friction makes movement purposeful.

In the interest of full disclosure, said incident (driving on icy roads) was last month. It’s been lovely weather here recently–and my commute has been smooth with just the right amount of friction to keep me safely on the road heading in the right direction.

I only recently made the time to find a photo to stick my reflections on–which is why you’re enjoying(?) this post in the midst of an unseasonably bright and sunny February (that is scheduled to end today, if I read my weather report right.)
