Imagine a trip from Boston to Miami.

True; but still, I like Nick's metaphor a lot more than any other model I've encountered so far in the SS discussion. We aren't dealing with a plunging anvil or a force of nature; and we sure as hell aren't dealing with a crisis. At least, not in the SS system.
