No Country For Old Ladies...

No - this is not about double dealing drug lords, bloody, bloody murder, killer dogs, or an old lawman. This is about everybody being in such a @*#&+?# hurry.




Old lady gets on the bus...the driver can't wait 'til she sits down - lurches off to the next stop - old lady gets butt slammed into her seat.



Old lady tries to retrieve her luggage from the airport carousel...the obese guy in the bad t-shirt shoulders her out of the way to get his.

Old lady enters the revolving door...the people behind her push so hard she almost falls from the force of the spin.

Old lady is waiting for the WALK sign at the corner of Pearson and Michigan...the jaywalking crowd rushes the crosswalk leaving her in its wake.

Old lady steps into the crosswalk ... her hip is brushed by the hungry cabbie turning illegally in pursuit of a fare.


Old lady walks through Lincoln Park to avoid traffic...crazy biker almost runs her down on the "walking" path - and yells "on your left" and beeps his Clarabelle horn - 10 extra points if you remember Clarabelle.


Old lady points out optimal seats on sight- seeing trolley to her sisters...family of screaming kids rush to fill those seats.

Old lady drives down Sabino Canyon Road to her aunt's house at 5 miles above the speed limit...gets 5 middle fingers and 10 horn honks from fellow travelers.


It just gets better and better. Now you know why I need the Tranquil Spaces in Public Places.

Thanks, American people, for blog material. Have a wonderful day, but hurry up, some old lady may be blocking your way!
