"Stop bending the ground to fit where I'd like to be on the map" - I do this ALL the time! It's amazing the power we have in our minds to literally reshape the environment to suit our wants.

More please. Now!

Sounds like the beginning of the trip was a challenge, hopefully things will get better. I wonder what was said when there was a realisation there was no tea bags, hmmmm.
