A Good Example?

The Shorty and I were rolling along on the opposite side of the meshwork, as I chatted with the Canopy team. It took some extra effort to communicate using the tap-pair, reducing the available bandwidth. It was, however, a reasonable exchange. Slow communication is better than no communication.

I digressed into an explanation about the difference between the soup and the mesh, and why I was able to wiggle my way through the mesh to the other side. While it was an interesting conversation, I sensed increasing agitation, so I dropped the Seven into the meshwork once again and wiggled to the other side.

Popping up and raising the Seven once again, I resumed the high speed conversation. That is when the Canopy team tossed me a strange idea. They wanted to follow along and learn more. I had managed to move along, discover and commandeer the Shorty, and find my way back. I had a slightly different view of the events, but I could not change their desire. That was the first test, because freedom is a commitment, not something you do just once in a while.
