Sometimes all I want to do is head west on 20 in a car I can’t afford with a plan I don’t have. Just me, my music and the road. —Baby Driver (2017), Edgar Wright
‘This is a lovely vacation in a tropical paradise, surrounded by beauty and exotic life. But here is what you have not considered at any point in this perfect day: every animal you remember was probably older than you. The humpback could be as young as 20 and as old as 90. The feeding green turtle, with its battered shell, likely ran a desperate gauntlet of ravenous seabirds while your father was learning to shave. The coral under which it wedged itself took hold after the Hawaiian tsunami of 1946 devastated the reef, and the formation on which it grew was constructed centuries earlier from the skeletons of prior residents. And the opah fish you're about to enjoy, with sides of green salad and sticky white rice, likely carried the radioactive legacy of Operation Castle Bravo in its bones. You live in a world embedded in time, and you are not the wise elder. They are.’
