Fully Packed People in Shopping Sauce

Holy Mary, Mother of that Guy, was the mall crowded today.  Which I knew it was going to be, of course, but seeing as tomorrow is Yesenia's birthday and the last week didn't afford any opportunities for gift-buying, today was it.

But, wow, the crowds.  If we let one unit of mall density per square foot (p) equal the number of people waiting on line around 2 pm at the Shake Shack in Madison Square Park (MS), then today at the Palisades Center, p = 10²⁵MS, or approximately more people at the mall than there are hydrogen atoms within the solar heliopause.  Consequently, given three opportunities to lose my shit, I only went into full Dave mode once.  That's got to be some kind of mark of character growth, don't you think?
