In my home directory
  11:33 $ pwd
  /home/lpitcher

I have 66 of my own files and directories
  11:33 $ ls -d ./* | wc -l
  66

and 166 dotfiles and dot-directories
  11:33 $ ls -d ./.* | wc -l
  166

or roughly 2 1/2 times more dotfiles/directories than
personal files/directories. That's a lot of configuration
files that I normally wouldn't care about, and would
confuse a directory listing, should I be looking for one
of my files.
