Whoops. I meant to say it was a police officer. I live in an
unicorporated area of san diego county (fallbrook) and we have sheriffs
out here, so I'm used to saying that (or 5-0). I'm a little slow.

I don't mind people parking on the street as long as they don't impede
traffic or park at the curb in front of my house...

I guess that's what I was getting at. Most of the houses in my
neighborhood have good-sized driveways and even garages and people
*still* park out on the street so much that it's common for houses
across the street from each other to both have cars parked in front,
causing people driving on the street to have to come to a complete
stop to wait for oncoming traffic to pass first. I don't get it. I'm
thinking of installing some sort of modified "curb feeler" on my car
that sticks out at about "door-handle-level" on the passenger side.
You know, just to be safe so that I'll know I'm getting too close to a
car parked on the side of the road if I hear a loud harsh sqealing
noise as the "curb feeler" scrapes down the length of the parked car.
Strictly as a safety feature, of course.

I'm lucky enough to live on a really wide street but I definately feel your
pain, there are times when you feel like a slalom racer...

<cracking up> How about some hubcaps like Masallah had on his chariot during
the race in the movie Ben Hur?

Our entire street is like that, in fact most are round our way. It can take
ages to get from one end to the other, having to duck in at occasional
spaces to let other people past, but there again, Victorians didn't have
cars, so why have driveways BG.
