-> My friend, I agree with you completely. I am disabled as well, and get SO   
   MAD   
   -> when I see someone parked in the "striped spaces".    
      
   Thank you... I was just so saddened that Melinda, who has the van to   
   have independance, had her independance stolen from her that day.  I   
   will never forget Bucca di Beppo (they made it extra, extra special) My   
   Birthday is coming and Malinda inissists on India food sometime between   
   now and then.  I have a long time tradition of goign on the river to   
   KingFish.  I've not missed a birthday since my 18th birthday.  They give   
   a free fish sandwich and I love the reiver view... tradition is lunch   
   there, then spend the day in the Antique stores (one thing I had in   
   Common with Janis back in the day is I remember she likes Antiques too)   
   then go out to eat again with my family in the evening.   
      
      
   -> I have a Hoveround carrier attached to my pickup truck, and I too need that   
   -> extra space to load and unload my "chariot", and when they take up that   
   space   
   -> it causes me very much grief.                          
      
   I may need one of those soon.   
      
   -> I've always had the belief that those vehicles should be ticketed. Also,   
   they   
   -> should have their vehicles towed away, their tires flattened, and they be   
   -> prosecuted and spend 15 days in jail for each offense.    
                                     
   No... Justice would be that there is some sort of temporary medical   
   procedure they go through that would put them in a wheelchair for two   
   days.  (Two days should be plenty) where they have to use the disabled   
   toilets and everything.  Only by walkign (rolling) in someone shoes   
   (chair) would they understand.   
      
   -> I know that's what they deserve, but MOST cops give a little lip service and   
   -> let them go with no consequences, so tomorrow they can do it again.    
                                     
   I can speak from being an instructor for the Po-po academy.  Citations   
   are a pain now... and often you end up in court.  Most cops don't write   
   them if the person is reasonably apologetic.  And right now after the   
   "Furguson Effect" most cops don't want to engage ANYONE in anything that   
   can be conflictual, especially if they are near retirement.   
      
      
   -> Oh, well, there's always the ramp crashing into their doors or fenders.   
                                                                 
   Much as that would make me feel better to see done, I know better... I   
   am better.  Reminds me of a 'diaper' story I'll tell later.
