Cheap thrills. A relatively cheap 1 or 2MP camera (like my Olympus D-380) is great for that kind of stuff. I think I'm going to start taking pictures of silly stuff I see, or maybe just crummy driving. There's a lot of the latter here in Seattle, but most of it is simple LLBing. Example: http://www.v6stang.com/misc/LeftLaneMagnet.jpg -- ~/Garth |"I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. Almgren | I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. ******* | And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant." for secure mail info) --H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) |

However, taking up two desirable spaces in a busy lot is not justifiable. If you take up two spaces out in the booneies, I could care less. If you take up two good spaces, you are likely to get abused. If you value your car highly, then I am sure you don't mind walking a few extra feet so that you can park it away from the many people who only think of cars as useful appliances. Ed |
