    JM>   The first one had a medical condition he didn't tell anyone until it   
    JM> kicked in the first week or so.   
      
     I guess he thought it'd disqualify him for the job.   
      
    JM>   The second one was dumb as a box of rocks.  Couldn't comprehend   
    JM> anything and parking ain't rocket science.  I mean if I can do it....   
      
     I had a pet rock garden...last week, several of them died.    
      
    JM>   We've had some real winners sent to parking and many were members of   
    JM> the Doofus family, which seems to grow by the day.   
    JM>   This guy made a Doofus seem smart and I nicknamed him Knucklehead.   
      
     Yeah, I remember you talking about him. It sounded like he made The   
   Three Stooges look good.    
      
    JM>   I.E., regular violator for example.  Parking can't link the car to   
    JM> anyone.  One day the violator leaves something in plain sight with   
    JM> their name, student number, etc.  Got ya.   
      
     Busted.  I'll bet some complain the picture was "set up" and   
   tampered with using Photoshop.   
      
    JM>   The woman in the office working on the machine walked over, mentioned   
    JM> the tree trimming and casually asked for her name and phone number in   
    JM> case she might need to move.  Got her.  And she paid.   
      
     No pressure...she needed to make like a tree and leaf.    
      
    JM>   We must have had the same parents!   
    JM>   Or graduates of parenting school.   
      
     Nowadays, the parents don't want to discipline their kids, as "it'll   
   ruin their self esteem". Well, I got my share of spankings (my younger   
   brother probably got more ), and we consider ourselves better for it.   
      
    JM>   I sometimes tell someone when I ask that and can't recall "Oh, you   
    JM> weren't listening either?"   
      
     What were we talking about??    
      
    JM>    Or the popular retirement community in Florida, "Sunny Beaches".   
      
     Or Blake Shelton's song, "Some Beach".

   ... Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
