Ladies (and Gents),
Labor Day weekend. It's beautiful here (and that's an understatement). Classes this weekend have been full (thanks to all for coming) and we're hoping to start the Fall season with a bang (i.e. big class) tomorrow night too!
Sidebar: We are all thinking of everyone in New Orleans and keeping you in our prayers. Be safe.
Ok, on to the post topic...
I went over to our local super sized farm stand (aka Idyllwild Farms) to get some veggies and fruit since I didn't want to leave Ally alone ('Dad' is working today) too long after coming home from work. And, here's my question... (or, uh, questions):
1. Do you make eye contact with folks when parking in a lot? Today I found that some people seem to think that if they do *not* make eye contact they can: a. take the spot you had your blinker on to pull into or b. almost hit you and, since they're not looking at you, you're not really there.
2. Do you make eye contact with folks when walking around the store? Really, I mean a grocery type store (which is what Idyllwild is, an overgrown farm stand/grocer). I mean, again, if you 'cut' someone off when they are reaching for veggies and basically shove them out of the way, but do not make eye contact, that person you shoved really isn't there, right? Uh, no, I WAS there.
3. And, do you find that the same annoying person who: a. cuts you off in the aisle acting all oblivious or b. rudely leaves their cart in mid-lane, blocking it totally and/or c. constantly almost runs into you...is the same person you can't 'shake' the entire time you're shopping???
ARRGGHH.
Anyway, I did get my fruit and veggies (uh and somehow a quart of chocolate peanut butter from Kimball's...I'm not sure how my car pulled in there by itself...maybe it was the nav system? Maybe I was kidnapped by aliens? I don't care-I have a whole quart in the freezer!! YIPPEE)
and I am back home safely.
Thank God I didn't have to follow Ms. Oblivious from the market to her car and on the street!

Ms. Oblivious from the market was the one that pushed your car to Kimbals :)
Making eye contact is essential to human connection. As I mentioned, just the other evening whilst shopping for rice in Market Basket (aisle 7 to be specific) a kindly older man working helped me find the product I needed. I had seen him many Thursday evenings prior to my shopping night & never made eye contact. But on the evening I needed rice, we spoke. hello, and goodbye and thank you. I know I warmed his heart!
