...like exploring old towns and new restaurants. I like finding sand dollars on the beach. But when I sit down to work, I'm rarely in the mood to discover fabulous new features in my business software.

You're in a hot fire zone. A villager comes up from behind, let's say, a sand dune. He's surrendering, but sometimes a guy would just pull a trigger and blow him away...
