From somewhere in northern new mexico

Ned has time for a short post from somewhere on U.S. 64, in which he enquires why some persons are not happy, fullfilled, or content unless they are annoying others. One example Ned has used in the past is pushy dog owners who believe it is the responsibility of the "public sector" as one such person opined in the Washington Post, to provide exercise areas, at taxpayer expense, so their dog can excrete far away from their own property. No, Ned does not refer to such antisocial persons today, but to motorcycle riders. Not any motorcycle rider, mind, but only those who insist on purchasing and operating "hogs" without mufflers or with Glass Paks, which emit ear-splitting noise. Ned was gently awakend by one of these individuals at 5.30 this morning, and relishes the event as yet another thread in life's rich tapestry. He will not go so far as those who insist such behavior is narcicisstic, outrageous, selfish and sociopathic, but will content himself with the gentle question that began today's enquiry.
