Observations and thoughts

I am intrigued by the number of people who wash their cars at 8am in the morning. There I was, bleary eyed in the pit, watching car after car go through the carwash. I can't remember the last time I washed my car. I wait for rain. I thought it would be fun if it was still freezing and after they finished their car wash, they would have to stop and scrape their windows.

If you happened to drive by McD's recently, you've seen the construction. They're fixing our sewage lines and I think some other stuff too. They had to shut down the drive-thru lane, oh horror of horrors. That means that there has to be someone outside to collect money, run it to the window, get the change, run back, and then go and get the food. I got to be the runner outside this morning, which was fun for awhile, because the sun was out. All I could think of was how fun it would be to go play softball. But anyways, then the sun went away and it got colder, but I did get free hot chocolate out of the deal and I didn't have to smell hamburgers all day.

When the construction guys came yesterday, I watched them dig a big hole to get to the pipes. I busted out laughing though, because then, one of the guys lit up a cigarette which really amused me. I was inside at this time, and had to do something so I missed some of the digging process. I came back and looked for the guy but couldn't see him. Had he left? Had my entertainment gone? But then I saw some reassuring puffs of smoke emerging from the hole, and I knew all was well. I couldn't see him, but I could see his presence. I never lost track of him again, I just looked for the smoke. That was enough to put a smile on my face for a looong time. Maybe they were signals.
