Sicily Snapshot: Get me out of Here!!
Sicily is beautiful, but broken, much like the dock behind our house
Get me out of here! I'm done. I am ready to be in a place where things work as intended, where people drive in lanes, and lines mean something. I'm ready for things that are open when I want them to be open and people are proactive about solving problems.
I want light switches and doors and plumbing to work without my having to think about them. I don’t want to be constantly wondering “how and when did that fall apart?” I want to look at a street without seeing an abandoned property or a half-completed piece of construction.
I want websites with the correct hours and people in businesses to answer the phone. I want someone in an establishment to speak some of any language in which I can stumble around with them.
Once we have done that for a while, I will be happy to re-enter the messy and wonderful world outside the lines.
