The good and the bad weather outside the Revolutionary Cafe

            During the afternoon the sky was cloudy and the air was cool. Many people are taking advantage of this beautiful weather outside. Stormy weather is coming in and it shapes the clouds into interesting formations. People outside were frequently turning their heads to look up at the sky, and the weather itself was a topic of conversation for quite some time with a group of 5 people sitting next to me. They were of Hispanic descent and were all probably in their 50's. One of them was remarking about the approaching Hurricane that was about to hit the west coast of Mexico as well. The general consensus was that the stormy weather was a welcomed break from the sun and a sign of fall. I predict that the fall weather will make more people want to come to the coffee shop. There is something about the atmosphere that makes you crave a hot coffee. Pumpkin spice is especially popular right now here too. And indeed this day is a busy day. Many people are arriving in their cars and leaving with their beverage.

            It began to get a little too chilly for me outside so I decided to come into the warmth of the building. There were about the same number of people sitting inside with a few tables still empty. But there were alot of people waiting to the side on their orders. The lines are usually a general indication of how busy it is and today it was getting longer than normal. You can tell that some of these people are in a rush when they constantly stare at the barista or pace back and forth. One man kept doing this as well as constantly look at his phone probably to check the time or see if he received a message. Finally when he got his coffee he didn't even say thank you as he grabbed it quickly and went out the door. From my observations it seems that lines in general are not very enjoyable. Many people expressed a bored attitude which is exhibited by crossing the arms, yawning, or only looking at a phone screen. This has become a daily activity of modern humans though. We must wait in order to receive the conviences of society. Multiple times I have seen people become irritated due to this fact. Yet at the cafe a friendly atmosphere is usually maintained.

            Around 130p.m. the clouds started to come in more and rain began to fall. Soon the rain turned to hail, and the hail turned into a severe storm that seemed as if the gods were angry. Many people from outside ran inside to gain cover from the large chunks of hail. However others ran out and got into their cars and then drove off. I presume this was so they could find a place where the hail would not damage the car. One woman was complaining to her friend that her car was already damaged so she didn't care that much, so she humorously carried on the conversation. I thought I should get home before it got worse nonetheless since I did not have a car, So I put my book over my head and ran outside.
