Do You Feel Lonely?

As a first impression of a coffehouse (Julie's Coffee in Williamsport), I guess it's an uninviting first experience to sit down at a table next to an elderly woman who's carrying on a rather irritated conversation with an "invisible companion" in the green-cushioned seat to her left. She even paused in-between her swearing about the college students, talks about health insurance, gas prices, and bills to let the other being speak, nodding her head the while. It was also interesting to note that her eyes would focus on a point in Cartesian space, approximately over the seat where the being would have been positioned if it were enjoying a Venti Caramel Mocha Latte Macchiato. I would say it's fairly unnatural to be able to focus your eyes on something less than a flat surface unless consciously unfocusing one's eyes.
