We are home from Salt Lake. Leroy and
I had not used LYFT by ourselves until this trip. We flew out of SLC at 5:00 in
the morning. That meant we needed to be at the airport at least an hour ahead
of time. Neither Miriam nor Andy wanted to make that drive. So they arranged for
LYFT to take us. Both Leroy and I were a slight bit nervous about them getting
us there in time. Even though Miriam said the drive would only take 20 minutes
we requested the ride to be there sometime between 3:25 and 3:40. Our driver arrived
at 3:18. He drove right along as he chatted at about the same speed. We know a
bit about his life and feelings about this and that. Getting closer to the
airport he commented about being retired, which he assumed we were. Upon
learning that Leroy was still employed, he wanted to know what he did. As frequently
happens, when he learned that Leroy was a pastor the conversation became
centered on religion. He shared some of his feelings on the subject. In spite
of all the chatter we had plenty of time at the airport. Some wait time, but
not too much.
For the trip home from the airport we
used the same service, but a very different driver. This guy seemed much more
hesitant about driving and certainly did not chat much, but would answer a
direct question. Leroy thought he might have been from another country because
he seemed to listen so intently to questions before he answered. I am not sure
as my perspective from the back seat was more limited. He did not have much of
an accent that would place him from another area. His command of English was
quite good.
We are happy to be home. Amazing happy
to visit, but ready to come home.
