Travelling alone

The upside of traveling alone is I tend to talk to strangers more. Like the kid working at Jimboy's Tacos in Fairfield, who commutes all the way from Sacramento, because his uncle, who lives in L.A. owns the business. Isn't it good to work for a family business? "Not necessarily. You can't call in sick, because your family knows if you're sick!" ...and who would commute from Sacramento to Fairfield to work for a fast food restaurant?? Well, his uncle is paying for his college (in Sacramento), so I guess that makes it worth it. Then there's the couple in Truckee, who were thrilled to see a Zipcar. They wish there were zipcars in Truckee.
