Where the streets have a name, but only one lane...

Yesterday was just strange. I am primarily at an elementary school right
now that's close to town, so I jumped in my car to go to lunch and turned
towards town. There were cars parked on both sides of the street and a
garbage truck in the middle. I could just barely get to a free parallel
space so he could go through, then he pulled forward and ended up waving
me through an even tighter spot.

Then the next intersection I got to had a power truck working on a pole
and it was blocking off two of the streets. So I turned again and changed
my mind about where I was going for lunch - I decided to check if a place
that was switching ownership had opened back up yet. Nope. Still closed.
I planned to turn back on the next street, but it was closed as well!!!
WTF! For a town that only has a few streets it was pretty comical that
they were all blocked off in some way.

Then I got to one of my favorite places to eat and there was a new person
(Girl A) at the counter. I ordered my usual, the chicken salad platter
and a medium chai latte, heated. So a few minutes later Girl B comes out
with a quiche platter. I said it wasn't mine and the woman looked
surprised. I was the only customer that hadn't been served yet. Then
Girl A, who took my order, came back and asked me if I wanted my Chai
Latte hot or cold. Well, duh, I said heated! She says okay. Then 2 more
minutes Girl A comes back with a chicken salad platter asking me if I
ordered one. Yes, yes i did. How did you guess? Bring it on. Then she
asked if I needed anything else. Well, no...nothing else...just my Chai
Latte. And she says, "right!" - man it is so funny that one of my
favorite places could easily be construed as a really bad place depending
on the day of the week!
