Returning to Normal
I spent the weekend with my family in Austin this weekend.
From the moment, I left the house I found myself in a line. The bumper to bumper traffic lasted for two hundred miles from my front door to my niece’s door, made it seem like Texas-OU weekend or returning home, during my college years, on Sundays after Thanksgiving.
During the weekend, as we drove around Austin, we found few parking spots and many lines at restaurants and stores.
My niece was planing on picking up some bar-be-cue from one of her favorite restaurants. When we drove by, the line went around one side of the building.
My niece was staring at the line. She said, “I don’t get it, there is never a line here.”
“People are coming back to their favorite places.” I said.
“PEOPLE!” She responded.
Coming home, once again, I found myself in bumper-to-bumper traffic and heavy rain all the way to the Buc-ees in Temple. I couldn’t wait to get to the restroom. But as I walked into the store, I was surprised to see no one at the register.
That’s because they were all in line for the restroom. That line wound out of one side of the food court and turn perpendicular to almost back to the merchandise.
I had seen a fast food place just down the frontage road. So, I headed there, only to discovered the dining room still closed.
I ended up at the next exit at a truck stop where several of us, in a much shorter line, recognized each other from one of the other stops.
Where have you run into ‘people’ that is spoiling your plans?
