Somewhere toward the middle off this video:

A woman waiting in line overnight for a new iPhone crawls inside a clear garbage bag and goes to sleep. You can see the plastic moving up and down with her breath. A little funny, a little disturbing, like a lot of SUL :)

Just wow.

I absolutely can't believe how fanatical people are about new iPhones. Face, meet palm.

Up until a few months ago I didn't own a smart phone, and didn't want to. Note to self: Use caution when cooking pasta whilst on the phone.

Now I'm totally up-to-date with my brand new handed down iPhone 3. I might paint it gold…

But seriously, you have to admire the lady's attempt to utilize a vapor barrier to augment the warmth of her sleep system. Not sure she fully understands the concept…

;)

Presumably, "there's an app for that" that would detect rapid breathing due to high CO2 levels and alert you to open up your vapor barrier.

What's cool is that Will found something backpacking related in this video. I thought that the Marmot jacket in the opening scene would of triggered my instinct but he managed to get "vapor barrier" from what looks like homeless person taking a nap in a non breathable bag liner.

Thanks. As the poet John Haines says, "cities to me are part of the forest, in an absolute sense."
