MY conventional wisdom

Another curious thing happened yesterday. I was walking alongside the road during a stroll through town when I saw four elderlies in the road. This in itself wasn't the curious part, but rather that they had been tarred into the road itself! I couldn't believe my eyes. Who could have done this. Why? Who could have shown such disregard for these old souls as to build a road right where they were standing. It was obvious that they had been there for a long time as well. They must have been a hundred years old each. They were brown and cracked from the age and the sun, and must have stood ten or twenty metres high. They were beautiful. This world puzzles me sometimes..
