Pushy, Pushy
Yesterday, we went to Muir Woods here in Marin County. It's a wonderful place to hike, to relax, to observe beauty and let the big trees and green ferns recharge your spirits. Photos to come.
Having rested for two days, tomorrow I resume my sojourns to the city. Last Friday, waiting for the ferry, I was one of the dozens of people patiently waiting for the gate to open to allow us ingress to the ship. The ferry is never full at the times I take it. There are no prime seats to fight for. And yet, every time, there are the Type-A guys and gals who have to weasel their way to the head of the line, to be amongst the first on the ferry. Why?
When you see two people approach a doorway at the same time, some guys will drop back and let the other go first, and some will quicken their step to be the first through the doorway. I prefer the former. Pushy people bother me.
On the other hand, I'm a generally a fan of progress (except for genetically modified food). Reasonable people accept the world as it is. Unreasonable people, as someone I knew says a lot, change the world to suit their wishes. Most progress is achieved by unreasonable people. But it doesn't mean I have to like them. :)

Just like the guy (or girl) who will practically run you off the road into a ditch only to be sitting right beside you at the next red stoplight. Then they will inevitably take off from the green light as if they are in the Indy 500 only again to be sitting right there, one lane over at the next light! People, huh?
I thought for sure I posted here but I can't find it. Anyway I was commenting on how some one will practically run you off the road into a ditch only to be sitting beside you at the next red light!!! Then, the same person will take off at the green light like a bat outta hell only again to be sitting right next to you at the next light! People. Ya gotta love em, ey? BTW, thanks for the link advice. I will most definitely give it a go and then might pick your brain for my next "crisis" if that's okay. We'll be up your way next month. My husbands father lives in Martinez. My husband will be performing there at a dinner/magic theater. Sort of a weird little restaurant thing a friend of his setup in downtown Martinez. They pretty much pay enough that it covers our expenses for the trip up, a hotel room and we squeeze in the family visit. If you're at all into magic let me know. Also, next time he performs here, in Hollywood a the Magic Castle (you can check it out at www.magiccastle.com) It's a private club and you have to be invited but if he's performing I can put you on our guest list. It's in an old victorian mansion - It's a very interesting place - different - if you've never been. He'll be performing in the next couple of months.
