just now, on my way home from christmas in martin county, i collected an above average rebate (~$1.50 at a .25 exit) on the 528 toll road. as i was parked at the automated toll machine and out of my car retrieving my money, the oddest thing happened. with no deposit -- and not a single person/car in sight -- the machine made a short clicking noise and the red "stop" light that had been illuminating the dark clearing in the woods switched to the green "thank you" light.
that's not an analogy as much as definition.
