Amanda Explains Chow Time

There is this miracle that happens and it is called "Chow Time." I was first introduced to this concept by my sister-in-law, Jess when we were in Alaska together. I first thought that she was talking about eating, because we always seemed to be eating when the topic came up, but Chow Time can happen anywhere you have a line. Basically the premise is this: anywhere a Chow goes, he or she can beat a rush of people 9 times out of 10. You know when you get in line at the BMV (this really just happened to me the other day!) and there is no one there. Two minutes later, you look behind you and there is a line out the door? This is Chow Time. When you are at a restaurant and there is a 10 minute wait when you walk in and then it grows to 45 minutes after you put your name in? Chow Time. I guess we have this innate sensibility when we can feel in our bones the very best time to go somewhere. It's probably evolution or something. So, if we ever get snippy with you because you are running late, or we really want to get somewhere NOW, it is because our inner Chow Time is kicking in.
