before coffee
early last summer the big cranes came and began tearing down our corner Wallgreen's Store. it took them most of the summer to do it. then they began the slow process of re-building a new one. you know the new super-store looking ones. the ones with the big, fancy everything. we just had the old-fashion corner store-ish one.
in the same little plaza area of the Wallgreen's is a Starbuck's. it's the Starbuck's that i frequent the most. stop there, maybe once or twice a week on my way to work.
Wallgreen's is finally getting very close to re-opening. there are "signs" that you can pick up on that you just know this big event is about to happen. lights begin to fill the store, the paper comes off the windows, you can see the shelves start to fill with all sorts of goodies. stuff like that. we can now safely have headaches and cut fingers again.
well this week something really crazy changed over there by that new Wallgreen's. it must have happen overnight, the evening before i decided to go get a coffee at the Starbuck's that shares a parking lot with Wallgreen's.
it was really foggy, gloomy, and misty that morning. a great morning for coffee and i, along with a few other coffee drinkers were not quite awake yet as we pulled into the parking lot to get our morning java.
they (whoever they are) had repainted the parking lot and redirected all of the spots. now talk about doing the same thing the same way for years......it was like adults in bummer cars......without coffee! you get use to pulling into a parking lot from the same direction in the same way, pull down a lane, park, get your coffee, leave in the same direction and head to work. the whole lot was different. all the lanes that were North and South, you get it, are now South and North, drivers were looking at each other, turning around, hands in the air, going down the wrong way, some just gave up and parked sideways.
you really shouldn't do this to people who haven't had their coffee!
