Not enough of that goin' on. Amusing aside, earlier today I was going down a rabbit trail on some (unrelated) topics to do with Iceland. An interesting stat I came up with - the paragraph was discussing its rating as one of the happiest countries on the planet - is that 98% of Icelanders say they personally know someone nearby they could completely rely on to be there in the event of some cataclysm. Thought that was pretty amazing and something that more Americans ought to chip away at. Ya know, let's chat, there's a diner down the street that does great breakfast...
