I'll tell you what I see as the epitome of Abbotsford:

• a woman with perfectly polished acrylic nails text messaging on a cellular telephone while driving a shiny grey Audi.

• a man in work jeans and a collared shirt driving through Tim Hortons getting the three dollar special in his forty thousand dollar truck.

• both with multiple World Vision children smiling sweetly from underneath a fridge magnet.

It's in all of us. We just fail to see it.

(At my extreme, my thoughts turn to equate these two machines.)
