How to Get to Know a Place

When Missy and I moved to Florida we committed to making the move, she accepted her new job, we both quit our existing jobs, we arranged to get out of our existing lease, then we flew to Orlando for a few days to scout the area and secure an apartment. After the plane landed we stopped at a mini-mart to buy some caffeine-laden drinks. They had three-inch-thick bullet proof glass in front of the cashier with a tiny little slot for cash, cigarettes, and lottery tickets.

My jetlagged brain started repeating the phrase “We have made a terrible mistake.”

It turns out that was just a picked a really bad mini-mart. Florida was fine, or at least better than I had feared.

I thought of that mini-mart recently. It occurred to me that today that bulletproof glass is probably serving pretty well as a sneeze guard.
