I recently pulled into the parking lot of my local 7/11 to grab a cup of coffee. There's always a spot up front at 7AM but I parked three rows out and walked up to the store.

My wife and I went to the movies last Saturday night. We saw A Star is Born which we both liked. But that's not the real story....when we walked up to the ticket counter, I asked for two adults.
