In this footage, Ed searches and wanders--tries to find and figure out what he wants for breakfast. He is loose and on the prowl. The location, a central business district.

Ed is confounded by the telecommuters' existence: stepping their way through the plaza to their office. Hoping to stumble upon sustenance, he hobbles, attempting to unscramble his inner voice.

Ed labors for this meal, gimping explicitly, as if he were fulfilling a gratuitous obligation. Be forewarned of this concept because Ed knows that he will not be able to tap-dance his way out of this one.

While the cat meows, the cougar roars.

Ed clops about town through Old Country and New Attitude neighborhoods searching for sounds and beef rib platters, which include [taking] two sides [with options] and cornbread. Measure up the slow [food] movement expedited patiently--a testimonial worth testifying--weighting pound for pound.

Listen as Ed wanders for neighborhood American Chinese Take-out.

NOTE: there are topics for discussion.
Thank you.

Assign the grade up from local to global. Join Ed as he courts quality foodstuffs: beef and java. The product and service signs that foreground the bustle are augmented by the background noise signifying the event.

Speed slowly with Ed and Eddie over elapsed time. In this seemingly hurried-waiting scenario, what direction will this excursion take?

BTW--who is in control? The answer may leave you babbling in the end!

Shop industrial with Ed as he bulks-up on freshly ground coffee. How many cups of joe does a three-pound bag of roast make? How many demitasse of espresso?

Muse in this controlled environment, free from marketing pressures!
