�
Day two of work at Lowe’s.� Today the traffic is not as good as yesterday.� From the time I left home until I arrived in the parking area I Lowe’s I was in my car almost 1 � hours.� I did not realize that the “All Star” race was this popular.� When I got to the track about 1:30 tailgating was in full swing and the race was not starting until 7 pm.� These people are as enthusiastic as about there tailgating as Packer Fans.� Today I was assigned work the main entrance of the Speedway Club.� My assignment was to greet the guest and to check their bags.� We were to look for weapons, glass bottles, food and beverage.� No coolers are allowed in the Speedway Club.� If someone came with a cooler I would tell that we had a “cooler check” area so they could leave their cooler and pick up after the race.� Many were too lazy and would just leave it under our table.� We accumulated quite a few coolers by the end of the day!� Today I only had to work until about 8:30.��After being released I thought I needed to hurry home to watch race.� Then�I said to myself�– rush home, you are at the race track – watch the race here.�� So I made my way up to the grandstand area and watched the race.� It was great to take in the race but then had to deal with the crazy traffic after the event.� Another 2 hours in my car!!!!
