On the subject of travel bugs, I have quite a few thoughts and observations. Let me first say that my degree is in geography. What do geograhers do? They study spatial patterns.
The travel bugs create a interesting situation. The fact that it is people doing the moving, not the US Mail of FedEx with a boring and predictable route is what makes the TBs interesting to watch in the first place.
Human nature is filled with idiosyncracies and the way these bugs move (or don't move) is such a dead-on reflection of the unpredictability of life. If your TB takes a detour from your planned route or agenda, why not appreciate the unexpected and maybe even learn something new. It's called serendipity.
Some of the best things in life happen because people stop trying to control every little detail and things happen without interference. Look for the bigger picture, there really is one!
