On Friday, October 7th at 8:26am, I was in my car waiting at the railroad crossing on G Street in Merced. I was headed to the Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) Citizens Advisory Committee meeting which started at 8:30am.

This was the first time I had to wait in my car for the train to cross the tracks. Waiting for the train to pass, a lot of thoughts were going through my mind.

However, one thought or question struck a cord with me: “Why am I in a rush?” My immediate response was, “Because I am going to be late and I don’t want to be late.”

Then I realized two things.

First, that I would eventually make it to the meeting. I might be a couple of minutes late, but I would still be there.

Secondly, it was the first time I had to wait at a railroad crossing in a long time. The situation reminded me of my home in Bellflower. In Bellflower, I used to live just three blocks away from the railroad and in recent years, it was removed because the route had become obsolete.

The recollected memory was worth the wait and being late.
