So things I dislike about Abilene: no one seems to know where they are going as they all slam on their brakes and turn at the very last second. I do this too because I often don't know where I'm going, but I also have out of state plates to explain my erratic driving. Not sure what the excuse is for the natives.
Also, it is nearly impossible to get a drink from either Starbucks location (yes, they have a grand total of 2) in less then ten minutes. I talked to someone who works there last night and she explained they'd been without a manager for quite some time and even with the new manager they have a hard time keeping employees. This explains why I get very pleasant service every time, it's just really slow.
Things I like about Abilene: having family style dinner at work. This is a P3 tradition, and I really like that there are 4 meals a week I don't eat alone. Eating alone is definitely one of the harder parts of traveling solo.
Another plus is that I have owls now living on the roof of my apartment. There presence has greatly discouraged other birds from hanging out up there which keeps the chirping to a minimum while I'm sleeping. The downside of that is I can hear them up there at night and I worry about the integrity of the roof. Another traveler had a good laugh just imagining me sitting in me apartment and an owl falling through my ceiling. I would have laughed except I have a real fear it will happen.
So since I'm quite certain there is a owl sitting directly above me right this second I'm going to find something to do in another part of the apartment....closer to the door!
