Everywhere you go there seems to be a line or a traffic jam. For instance the other day I was in the supermarket and I could not get through the aisle because there were so many people with shopping carts.

Two ladies even had those gigantic shopping carts, which look like little cars that have kids in them; you know the ones? It takes them more room than the Exxon Valdez to turn around; seriously. It is like a giant semi truck at the crossroads of a 2 Lane Hwy going through the old downtown area of a city built in the 1940s.

So I decided to skip that I'll and come back later and that strategy worked for the frozen food section, but it did not work on the pasta aisle. After finally gathering all my groceries I determine that perhaps I had come at the wrong time. There were only two lanes open and 10 people in both lines and I had way too many products to deal with this self checkout machines, which never work right anyway. So much for the EZ Pass lanes?

Of course it appears the supermarket is also trying to save money and they would not open a third cash register. Isn't that my luck? I try to go at a time, which I do not believe will be busy and yet it was busy because everyone else tried the same thing. It took me 25 minutes to get to the grocery store even though it is only 15 miles away because of all the traffic.

It took me 10 minutes to buy gasoline, as there was a line they are too; I can't imagine people waiting in line to buy gasoline at three dollars per gallon of course there I was. After doing all this I decided I needed a cappuccino so I went to Starbucks and there was a line there too; he imagine waiting in line for a four dollar cup of coffee? But there I was.

Everywhere I go there is traffic jams even in the supermarket. But at least I did not have to wait in line for the potatoes. And I am thankful for that; please consider this in 2006.
