Here in my home city of Edinburgh parking is one major stress that we citizens have. To use our meters apparently you can register centrally and then phone in to pay – eliminating cash, credit cards and pliers. Not managed to try it yet though..will let you know how that goes ( if it ever does!)

Great story Fred – a wondeful way to start a day!

Don’t you know the meter almost always wins. Not this time because no ticket. You do know why you don’t use the Valet though. How about all those turns around the block when going to dinner with Dad (Jack) looking for a parking spot. Oh for patience–but at least you did not make LaVonn go down with you while you worked over the parking towers.

Hi Diana, The show was great, thanks for asking. I think I’ll have a bit to say about it in a future post.

Ah! Pliers in the car. What a great idea!

A very entertaining story Fred (I could almost feel the cold) – and a side of you I haven’t seen.

p.s. How was the show?

Ouch. That sure is a convenient mistake. I’ve also learned that the timers evidently go out of sync during extended cold weather. Evidently the manufacturer hadn’t planed on Chicago winters.

I love the Chicago L, specially now that a round trip costs less than the gas, let alone parking.

The trunk tool kit is a standard feature of the Schlegel mobility fleet. That way when we have to lift the hood we can bang on things instead of just looking about.

I’m afraid the parking meter may have the last laugh since I have to return for a rematch every time I park….

Hold onto your receipts. I have been in situations with two identical billings when there are scanning challenges. Glad it was mind over machine.
