This morning on the way to work we nearly ran over someone walking a pair of cows down the middle of the highway and grazing them on the flowers growing from the barrier in the median. Mumbai is awesome.

The key part of redesigning inventory for @ansible is focusing on managing variables primary object. Groups and hosts lists come next.
