Next Door Data

Calvin the scientist out tent-camping with family opened his e-car door to a peace shattering din. His inner rage exploded into barely restrained lashing out at the invasive next door trailer. Through an irritating weekend of adaptation he realized campground power generators had awakened his fury over people's non response to climate change. His struggle triggered action never before considered.A scientist out on a weekend camping trip pulled in beside the family tent after a day at the beach to the hammering clatter of a next door power generator. Struggling to deal with the irritation, he found his inner rage surging to form a lineup of imagined spray bombed messages, wire-cutters and shotgun blasts. His own quiet attempts at switching to an e-car to alleviate climate change became a futile attempt to bring about his desire for a peaceful camping experience. The disrupting noise of two cycle engines around him, he realized, turned out to be symbolic of the data that he had been researching over the last several years. Behind the noise of internal combustion engines boomed the incessant threat of climate change. He found he had to act, and the action he knew he needed take turned out quite different than his initial reactionary lashing out at the next door noise.
