Hi all.

Finally got a chance to check in. Just been one of those days.

Plus DW isn't feeling well.

Tis the season, I suppose.
Hey, someone catch that mad woman who's decorating!! I still have stuff to put up in my house & could use some help!!
Ok, time to make this a *long* post. Shep, feel free to skip this part.

Kimmie, remember your encounter with law enforcement a while back? Where they told you you did something wrong while out traveling around? Get this... I didn't even have to leave the house to get in trouble.

I got a letter today from the city in which I live. Seems that they felt obligated to tell me I am violating a city code. Odd... I've lived in this house 7 years & haven't changed the way I do things. The letter states that, get this, since one car in my driveway (rear entry thru an alley) isn't parked *FULLY* on the driveway, I am violating city ordinance something or other.

Um, pardon me, but the car is *2 feet* off the driveway.

I have to do that b/c when they built the house, they gave us what they called a 2 car garage. But for some reason, here in the land of pick-ups, SUVs and minivans, you can't fit two of them in the garage. I can't even park them next to each other on the driveway. Just not enough room. Another 2 feet further & there's a fence. Up to the fence, it's all my property. Nobody walks thru there except those who trespass. Plus, it's in the *BACK* of the house. Sooooo, if I haven't corrected this by their next visit, I'll be subject to fines each day they find this violation.

And since I work at home, I pretty much *have* to leave a car floating around somewhere.
Another fine examples of my tax dollars at work. Sheesh.....
Ok, vent over. I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.
