Apologies to Nancy whose particulars were snipped.

I don't get what the problem is, although I face it all the time. I am not
young, not big, not particularly anything, but I have no problem with
allowing people with physical problems, including advanced pregnancy or even
hidden problems, like stroke damage or inadequate heartbeats, an advantage
in parking. Twice last week I could barely make it down the street in front
of the supermarket because so many people were parked slanted in on the no
parking side of the street. It left one lane to be shared with both
directions of traffic. When I reached the parking lot a car was parked in
the driveway leaving one lane for both directions. I went down the ramp to
the covered parking and it was almost empty.

I'm usually a fairly gentle person, but when I see the cops ticketing those
scofflaws I smile really big. It just doesn't happen enough.
