Sunday evening Studly Doright and I decided to go out for dinner at our favorite Asian restaurant in Tallahassee. The place was really busy, but they were still maintaining social distancing protocol. We had a nice meal and didn’t linger since others were waiting for a table.
We walked out of the restaurant and I hesitated on the sidewalk because the driver of a pickup truck was maneuvering to back into a spot adjacent to the path we needed to take to get to our own vehicle.
Studly said, “Why’d you stop?
Me: Because there’s no curb and I don’t want him to back over me.
Studly praised me. You see he’s always saying I have awareness issues. “Maybe you’re learning something after all these years.”
The pickup came to a complete stop and Studly and I continued on to our Lincoln SUV. Well, Studly did. I tried to get into a similarly colored Chevy van. So much for conquering my awareness issues. Sheesh.

Peace, people.
Well, one out of two isn’t bad!

I once got into a car parked beside ours in which Jackie was waiting for me. I’m not sure who was most surprised – me, Jackie, or the woman in her own driving seat 🙂

You’re still awesome!!! But chivalry has a greater purpose…allow Studly to lead the way and open the car door for you so you’re sure to get in the right vehicle. “Oh, Studly. How would I ever manage without you?”

Thank you! When I realized what I’d done I laughed for at least a full minute. That’ll teach me to get cocky.

Lol! It was nice van! But it was locked. Good thing, too because I’d have gotten right in.

If you had to choose, trying to get into the wrong car over getting run over is always the way to go.
