If space aliens landed in Carmel at 5:00 a.m. and began searching for signs of human life, they would be hard pressed to find anything short of...or wait, they may just have stumbled upon the hottest ticket in town as they follow the steady stream of cars and SUVs all headed in one direction...yes, indeed, here is life as the humans must know it! Life that said aliens have been searching for, specimens to study, knowledge to take back to Planet X..."Quick," they must think, "get in line, act as if you might fit in by following the line...let's see where it leads and what we will discover." Cars lining up, disgorging one or two human specimens (I think they are human, some of them look a little zombie-like) shuffling toward the doors...let's see where it leads: Ah, to water...this must be how all the humans get water each day. Or so one would think, being an alien and all.
Kidding aside, the line to the CHS pool on weekday mornings is the only sign of life around here at 5:00 a.m., and judging from the hundred or so cars winding through the driveways, parking lots, and lining up to the door, truly the hottest ticket in town.
