The Lineups

A dozen cars were already in line when we joined the Drive-Thru parade outside our local In 'n Out Burger joint. It was an unusually warm (85 deg) night, "sweltering" by Bay area standards, and a large near-midnight crowd packed the parking lot and brightly-lit red-and-white interior. (Pssst..."secret" menu!)

A dramatic Bollywood movie -- complete with an old man on his death bed, expectant mourners wailing at his side, and dreamy-eyed narrators singing on a rainy stage -- played at the front of the line in the Indian Consulate. While relaxed ex-pats waited patiently, arms crossed, restless business travelers pounded on their laptops to pass the time.
