Lines

Back in January 1974 I was in Hawai'i on leave from my Navy duty station in Japan at the height of the 1973-1974 Arab oil crisis. I remember spending long hours on the side of Kamehameha Highway as it went past Pearl Harbor, waiting to get on base to buy gas. Because of that experience, I'm reasonably tolerant of queueing up and waiting.

Nonetheless, standing in line today for half-an-hour at a Longs Drugs for a prescription was annoying. There were only eight people in front of me!
