Get well Doc, boy that must be a bitch, have had
broken ribs and hard to do just meinal chores like wipe butt, pick up newspaper,
sweep house, and then there are the kids trying to knock you down to play
horsie......
As for big cars, many shopping places here pressed
for room obviously didn't get it, and when restriping their parking lots, made
the space smaller for child's portion cars. So since there ate 18.5 million (you
read that right the figure came out yeasterday) SUVs in Texas, and we lead the
national in owners of former American Motors built AM General Hummer's, needless
to say most of these owners simply take up two spaces. I used to get pissed
about this then measured off some of the spaces by feet as I wear Size 11 shoes.
I was amused that I had trouble parking the Ambassador in one space, much less,
opening the door to get out (imagine Doc trying to do that now). So I take up
two spaces in these lots also. It is simply too difficult for me to squeeze into
one spot, much less get out safely, or without damaging my, or someone else's
vehicle. In other words, it seems to be no longer a big deal.
When the powers that be decided to restripe
Westheimer in Houston, they made lanes smaller, thinking they could move more
traffic if 5 lanes. Didn't work, as even the Metro buses could not fit and had
to squabble in two lanes. So they restriped it again, is 4 lanes and even 155
foot limosines have no problems. Neither do those limo Hummers with 6 doors per
side.
Happy motoring,
