War of the round spherical things with people on them.

Runners are programmed to be best friends with complete strangers, as long as they too are in the act of running. I passed several runners who were clearly running for their lives. They instantly turned their agonized, unhealthily pale faces into beaming, better than life smiles while I passed.They also try making small talk in the .5 seconds we have of talking time.
"Heyhow'sitgoingniceweatherwe'...."
There is a lot of uncertainty in the world, but in the world of running, one thing is certain, cars are the enemy. It's like cowboys and indians, aliens and humans, the IRS and your bank account, sonny and cher. I have a pretty good bet that if cars were to ever turn on humans, they would win. This is how it would go down: they would sneak out while we are sleeping in our lovely, desireably comfy, three throw pillow beds. They would have a secret meeting at the auto club where they would hire a bently as their CEO, the station wagon would tell surprisingly funny jokes to make up for his lack of...everything, and the mini cooper would sit in the back looking "too cool to be blowing the same carbon dioxide as these lemons," while drinking his can of Stan's single grade 5w40 supreme oil, flushed not drained. They would then, of course, get back for everything we have done to them. Putting oreos all over doors and windows, pouring sugar in the pipes, and even putting butter on the door handles. Oh the monstrosity! Then to finish off the epic battle between cars and humans, we would play a not well thought out game of red rover. That is how cars would win.
Surprisingly,
