Chewin in the Chung

So as I get older, I am more and more likely to be impressed by displays of professional skill/efficiency/talent. This might be something like watching an experienced carpenter get the absolute most out of his equipment, or see a new production process that saves time and cuts waste, or the time when I took my laptop to the Twinhead service center and I was all whining and bitching about the floppy drive had died and it was a new computer, and their service guy told me to go eat lunch and come back. I ate lunch, went back, and they handed my computer to me with a new a: drive in it.

So why the hell am I babbling about this? Because this morning I stopped by Starbucks on the way to work, got my coffee, walked out, and my car had been towed away because I had parked right in front of those big electric boxes. Of course, my first thought was" Mother of GOD in HEAVEN! Where is my fucking CAR? But my second thought was: "I was in that store less than three minutes. Man, these guys are really good at this."
