I wake up early these days and run out for coffee and a newspaper from the sparkly clean nearby convenience store. The headline about the (likely) Chinese spy balloon over Montana caught my eye. Sometimes there is a mild distress that the world is closing in. I think of this when I go through a toll booth and, rather than dropping quarters in a basket, a camera reads my license plate, and soon a bill arrives in the mail. Going to a store where every square foot is monitored by a video camera is, on some level, unsettling.
