Ikea Karma
I'm on vacation, traveling up US 101 from Carmel to San Fran, totally dependent on Google Maps because I have never traveled the area before. You know the feeling... You desperately need a bathroom brake, but you're making such good time, you just don't want to get out of traffic, only to get passed by by all those slowpokes you've been passing for the last hour.
But there comes a point where the leg starts shaking, and you just gotta go. You don't now where anything is, but you gotta take a chance. OK! One more exit and I gotta stop, right? So it says, "University Avenue." I decide that there's gotta be some decent fast food joint there where I can take a bathroom break. So off into the exit I head.
As I round the corner, what should I spy but the familiar Blue an Yellow. Can you believe that in all the gin joints in this big world, I turn off right at the entryway to Ikea East Palo Alto? What are the odds of that? Needless to say, that's where we took our break and had lunch before heading on to Quake City.
Ikea and me. We're meant to be.
