Red Baneberry

Drove to Collegetown early this morning to get my semi-annual oil change and tire rotation.  I'd been unhappy w/ their service last time I was there - it had taken much longer than I was told.  However, there had been a recall on a part and I wanted to know if my car was one w/ the potentially defective part.  I was a little out of sorts by the time I checked in at the desk.  The man at the desk had a pin stating he'd had his Covid shots and I let him know I had too.  I started to relax.  He told me I could wait around the corner.   Had planned on stopping for coffee and a nosh on the way over but I'd run into a detour around road work and hadn't had a chance.  Fortunately, they had coffee in urns in the waiting area along w/ snacks.  Just what I needed.  Settled into a seat. While I waited wrote down my lists of 7 things - the names of the 7 dwarfs, 7 deadly sins, 7 wonders of the ancient world.  Then went on to 12's - names of the disciples, tribes of Israel, Olympian gods (in Greek & Roman), signs of the zodiac, and Chinese zodiac.   The desk guy let me know my car was ready.  In church, I can finish that number of lists by the time the pastor finishes a sermon so I know the oil change took about an hour.
