Vanilla Ice Cream story at Panamania on July 25th

Vanilla ice cream covered in Chocolate






  It was amazing Sunday evening and I decided to get an ice cream from a truck on Queen Street near Nathan Phillips Square.

   I walked over and got in line and waited for my turn to place my order. There was a lady in front who order a medium ice cream and was proceeding to attempt to pay for it, she opened up her purse and began to look for something, she keep on looking and looking.She took stuff out and kept on looking and looking, It must of seemed like 5 minutes and then all of sudden she just walked away and left  the ice cream lady hanging with the melting ice cream.

   She say " Any one want this?"

  The lady behind me say "I will take it!"

  We looking at each in little bewilderment and kept on going in evening journey

 Moral of the story: Patience is a virtue even if its waiting for ice cream!

(True)Story is insights in human interaction..



 Last  Friday evening I was at the Esso gas station in the Finch and Dufferin area toping of my car with gas for the weekend and my upcoming trip to Buffalo.

 I put in my card, swipped my speed pass and attempted to put gas in my car. Nothing happened. I repeated the process and still nothing.

 On the other side of the car port. The guy was yelling and screaming out loud about the situation. "They take my money and they don't give me gas!"

 I reach over and said just be patient and try again. He says to me how are you so patient? I said yoga, pilates and meditation do that to you! 

 He started to chuckle a little and next thing you know gas started to flow..

 We had another short brief conversation on the weather, economy and world peace and before you know it we were on our way in different directions . 
 
Moral of the Story. Patience is a virtue and you may make some friends along the way.
