Beep, Beep!

"Beep, beep." This is what a man said to Matt when he was in his way at The Market Basket. We chuckled.

At any rate, things around here either move fast, or not at all. Let me offer a few examples:

-Traffic- if you have somewhere to go, you better walk, ride your bike, or take the bus. Even though your distance may be 1 mile, you are likely to sit in traffic for 10 minutes. We're not talking about stop and go traffic, but rather "no-go" traffic. If your distance is about 4-5 miles, take a good book.

-The Market Basket- see previous post. It's a madhouse, but even though it is incredibly busy and people are moving fast, you could get stuck in between aisles and not move at all. There's not a whole lot of time to check the cheese assortment they have because you might get run over, but you might get stuck staring at the baked bean selection, which you never intended to buy in the first place.

-Church- We'll call it "in-and-out" Mass. We're still looking because the first church we went to was rather monotonous. One reader read all the readings and read the psalms. No singing :( Anyhow, it's amazing how Mass was condensed to 35 minutes. It went really fast, but seemed really slow. (For those of you wondering, the second church we went to we accidentally walked into a Creole Mass. Hmm, I didn't understand much of that either.)

-Bus- If you didn't store money on your Charlie Card (it's used to get on the bus for a lower rate), and you need to add more money on it, I recommend you using the underground T-Station machines. If you try to add money to your account when you get on the bus, you run the risk of falling over because the bus won't wait for you. Once you've passed the top two steps, the bus is moving.. unless you're at a red light. You might be graced with a split-second to find a seat then.

Fast and Slow.
