What is it with crazy people and parking spaces?
Comments (2)I'm currently living in Argentina, a LONG way from my jerk neighbor which I am so happy for. He was so inconsiderate in so many ways I could write for hours. But this thread is regarding parking so I'll just stick to that. So even though we had a driveway leading to a 2-car garage, do you think he would park in the garage and help shovel the driveway (which we are responsible to do) during a big snow storm? NOPE, he decided to stay parked on the side of the street. Not the brightest bulb on the tree. Well, he had a JEEP COMMANDER! So he didn't have to shovel himself out! So of course that just left packed mounds of icy snow in his wake so nobody else could park there. Maybe it's just me it seems it's a public duty to shovel out your space as best as you can. He's a healthy 30 year old guy with 2 kids who could help. No issues there. Just friggin' lazy. Never helped my shovel the sidewalk ever. I just had to laugh every time I saw him struggle to get out of his space after a big storm without shoveling. He'd spend an hour out there going back and forth, back and forth until he finally burst out, leaving a mound of snow in the spot where I just shoveled. Heaven forbid he pick up a shovel. We were in New England for the love of all things holy! No worries of that for me now. Not much shoveling going on in Argentina in December. Someone else has to deal with this idiot. Such a relief!...See MoreAdding parking space to driveway
Comments (3)Well, if you have the permission of the owner, and you are just renting, and this car probably does not weigh much, I'd think about getting some paving stones and laying them on a bed of sand and gravel. Just two strips like a railroad. Or, if you are really going to be there a short time, the ramp idea is pretty good. In the southeast, with grass growing so quickly, you might like to keep the plants out of your engine area....I say this because of my experience with ants getting inside my wiring harness and eating the wires. They love an electrical charge, so disconnect the battery....See MoreDisabled Parking Spaces
Comments (79)neesie, obviously I was talking about the handicapped spots and not the entire parking lot! Geez. The way the law (in the US) is written the "van-accessible" spots have to be the closest *handicapped* (or "disabled") spots of the handi-spots and my point was that that is the wrong way to approach it. So let's not try to suggest I was saying the wheelchairs should park in the next county, OK? And I think someone riding in an electric wheelchair can handle riding "all through the parking lot while others are backing out" much better than someone someone on crutches, walker, cane(s), lugging an oxygen tank, using prosthetic devices, etc. Why should those people suffer so the rider can have the closest spot? Come to think of it, those people are *more* susceptible to problems since the rider can usually be looking around and paying closer attention to the surrounding activities than the others who have to pay close attention to the ground in front of them so they don't fall. Good grief, I never thought of that before! Thanks nessie! And that's for the person propelling themself in the wheelchair. When being pushed by someone else, they have yet another benefit. You're actually making my point and I'll have to remember that. For someone who is struggling to walk to have to walk farther so someone can literally "drive" into the store, is wrong IMO. I have sympathy for people in wheelchairs but I see very little sympathy from people in wheelchairs toward people who are trying to walk. And I won't even bring up the people who *can* walk, but use a wheelchair anyway. And as I said, not that someone in a wheelchair should have to, but if it came down to a choice of someone in a wheelchair parking on the far end of the lot (even if it's to have the extra room to load/unload) and having to ride, verses someone in any of the other situations mentioned and possibly more, I'd say it's still better IMO that the rider go the farther distance most of the time. And yes there's exceptions but for the majority, I feel it's better. The fact is if someone in a wheelchair gets tired even if they're propelling themself, they can stop and rest. They're sitting. If someone is in the other situations, not many are carrying chairs with them to be able to stop and rest. There's been times I've had to stop and lean against a car and even try to sit on a bumper or something when I've had to make my way through a parking lot. Maybe I should just say to heck with it and use a wheelchair! Jae_tn, not to get involved in your argument, but saying you wished people wouldn't park in the vandicapped spots gets contradicted when you said "If you notice, there will be a sign in front of the space saying " Van Accessible" and that means not to park there unless you are a van or there is no other space available." I haven't found the law that says that yet, post a link if you know one but the vandicapped spots aren't only for van use. It's that they're van-accessible by my understanding. I am going to keep looking though. Maybe I'll just call DPS and ask them....See MoreParking Parking Parking... Interior? Not so much...
Comments (45)Those photos are beautiful. No concrete, no asphalt, no sidewalks, no urban blight. No Starbucks. (I have never been to a Starbucks as we don't have any of that stuff around here.) I understand coffee costs $5.00??? But the heat is a problem for me though. Some love the heat, but I absolutely hate it. It went to 87 degrees up here last week end the kids were jumping into the rivers to cool off. That night it went down to 42 degrees and we all slept comfortably. But the responses are quite interesting. Some believe that God meant for man to walk on concrete and nothing less will do. Others will never consider living in a suburban, let alone urban setting. Some will never leave the seaside, while others think all you get is a shack there. Some believe people literally living on top of each other is the way to go and others think that anything less than 5 acres is confining. Some talk about having fine stores nearby to buy things, while others have no need for more "stuff". I love northern New England. I love when the leaves start to change in mid September and reach their peak around Columbus Day. I love the lack of urban areas. The biggest town in Vermont is Burlington with under 40,000 people. I love walking down my dirt road on a snowy evening in December and smelling woodsmoke in the air, knowing families are gathered around the hearth. I like the fact we have no streetlights. But there are plenty of people here that would consider my lifestyle backward. That's what makes this country so wonderful!...See Morecarolb_w_fl_coastal_9b
