People Watching 101:

            We were coming home on one of the county roads last summer, when we came upon one of the things that make life so much fun in the warmer months. A road crew had traffic stopped. We were in the first vehicle stopped, so to pass the time, I started watching the flagman for entertainment. He was a portly fella, not much taller than me, which isn't very tall, but he had a girth that would out measure his height. He was leaning against the side of his truck with his stop sign held between his legs. That gave him full use of both arms and hands, which he used, alternating left and right, to reach into the truck bed and pull out snacks. While waiting for the pilot car to come along and lead us through the work zone, we watched him put away a bag of Lay’s, 2 Twinkies, a bowl of chili, a bucket of KFC, a sandwich or 2, and a case of Pepsi. I was almost sorry when it came our time to go. I wanted to stick around and watch that boy explode.
