Default Red bat

Ventured from the tranquil life on San Juan Island into the bowels of the big city of Seattle Saturday. On the way home and stuck in stop & go traffic I saw a beautiful red C6 coupe with RED BAT on his plates. If I could pick horses like I pick the slowest freeway lane, slowest store check out line and slowest ferry ticket booth line, I would be a very rich man! lol Anyway, was curious if he was a member on here? I was able to catch up with him and even passed him once or twice before my lane slowed down. Hate big city traffic!

We have something in common in that finding the slowest check out line is a specialty I have had for decades. I miss the express cash only lines of many years ago.

on the checkout line thing

The best place is our local home improvement store, Jerry's. FIFO queue so there's never a slow lane. I wish every store had that but the chaos that would ensue at a place like Costco with everybody in one line may be a bit much

Bet I can unintentionally pick a slower line/lane than you!
