Mall Ambience — there's something nice about malls in the morning. There's no danger of buying something I don't need, all the stores are shuttered.

Smile at the many Marios grinning back at me from the GameStop shelves. I can lustily ogle the many variations of Baltimore Orioles caps at Lids. Or breathe in the remnants of fast food delights that hang like a meat cloud over the cavernous food court.

So much capitalism held in check by the hands of time.

It's a great place to lap the old folks walking the malls. Folks like myself enjoy the climate-controlled spaces and passages lined with colorful displays.

It's a safe space to attack my smart-watch activity rings. And race the pants off that lady in the green vest that thought she could pass me near Sephora.
