COWPUC, I heartly agree. Just think what a different country this would be if voting was more user friendly and we could vote on-line rather than having to inconveniently go to the polling place.

You got me too...... My coworkers are walking by my office door wondering why there are tears rolling down my face.

Good point Patricia, I had not considered that.

You are absolutely right and I'm not discounting the healthy looking people with unseen handicaps. I get it. The beauty of the app is that if someone is honestly entitled to the permit the ticket is not issued or forgiven. But to jog everyday at lunch and park in the handicap space does not fall into that category as far as I'm concerned. If she was legit why does she consistantly cover up the permit holders name. I hate liars, cheats and theves.

Thanks exactly what I'm talking about. Good for your son.

Who wouda thunked a shirt could have so much power.

We have one woman at work that daily parks in the handicap space right at the front door. She has a permit but is consistant on putting the permit on the dash rather than hanging it from the rear view. She always places the permit holders name side down so that no one can see who the permit is issued to. I guess that in itself is legal enough but, my issue is that everyday at lunch, she puts on her jogging suit and jogs around the block , which this block is at least two miles. I'm just saying that if she is healthy enough to jog around the block she is healthy enough to walk an additional ten feet to the non handicap space next to it. She is usually the first one in the building everyday and has the pick of 400 non handicap spaces. She parks there because in that space she is protected from getting her doors bumped on her late model Altima. Give me a break. Little does she and others know, that I am the only one authorized in the organization to have abandoned and illegally parked vehicles towed. After the first of the year and the publication of the newsletter, if she doesn't change her ways, I'm gonna have the sucker towed. After a few $125.00 tow charges and $500 fines I bet she will get the point.

Hopefully... Amen

I'm not saying ....I'm just saying. Evidently, I'm not the only one who has considered this.

At work I have been having an issue with perfectly healthy people parking in Handicap Parking space because they are too inconsiderate, lazy and/or stupid to not do so. Hopefully, today I was able to strike a blow against this problem. I was asked to submit an article for the quarterly newsletter. Here is what I wrote: Facts about Handicap Parking In excess of 53 million Americans have one or more physical disabilities. In the past, handicapped persons had no protection under the law. The legislation creating the protection of equal access under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) grew out of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Title VIII prohibited discrimination in housing based on race, religion, national origin and gender laying the groundwork to include the right of equal access under the law for persons with disabilities. President George H.W. Bush signed the ADA into law on July 26, 1990. The number of, location and design of handicap parking spaces are specifically defined by law, which is intended to provide the closest non-obstructed access to all buildings for persons with physical disabilities. On a personal note, I can attest to how inaccessible the world was back in the early seventies when I spent three years in a wheel chair during 1972-1975 due to a crippling motorcycle accident. Access to handicap parking is more than a convenience for the handicapped, it is the law. The law provides that persons with legitimate disabilities are entitled to a handicap accessibility permit under specific requirements and restrictions. The law also provides for a fine of up to $500 for persons wrongfully using handicap spaces, making false statements, providing false documentation to acquire a permit or wrongfully using the permit of others. Follow this link for information on how to apply for a handicap permit: http://atlanta.about.com/od/transportation/ht/disabled-park.htm Did you know that you can download a free app for your smart phone called “Parking Mobility” which automatically reports violators to the city/county? The great part is you can designate that 50% of the imposed fine goes to your favorite charity. Everyone wins: the handicapped, the city and the community. Check out this free app at the links below. http://www.parkingmobility.com/ http://www.parkingmobility.com/how-it-works/ Thanks for the opportunity to vent. I feel much better now.

& Videos...... I think the rule is GO FOR IT.... The boss can correct me if I'm wrong.......... I guess I should have asked what the subject matter of the videos is... were they taken in an environment where everyone had their clothes on? If not you may not want to share. That might be a visual some of us are not quite ready for.

Hey this thought has crossed my mind. I'm wondering how to get in touch with his family to approach them on what it would take to resurrect the grill business. I live fairly close to them and would love to keep the Grill alive in Steve's memory. But, I don't think I could swing it alone. Is there anyone reading that might consider a working partnership.

OK COWPUC, I have just a few comments, since I too was there for some of this.

Great that helps a lot. I would know you anywhere....now

I might agree and move down your way if the riding roads were a little more interesting in your part of the world.

It's been raining all week but the temperature has been up in the 70's. They are talking about a record high today of 75. Silver lining for the time being but, ya'lls (Westerners) cold front is predicted to hit us over night and the weekend is projected to be cold and rainy. I can feel the Rhuematism starting to kick up as I'm typing this..... Oh yea and I am still walking around.

I believe that things will eventually be set right if it's supposed to be. Congratulations and I'm glad for you if this has been important to you.

Congratulation WES, we're proud of you. Next we'll be seeing you running the Tail of the Dragon on your own.

There you go lying can be considered corrupt. ...and He did not have sex with that woman.... And that was yogurt on that blue dress... He doesn't even smoke cigars.......and give me a break

I'm thinking I'll make it this year. Probably plan on staying in Moonshiner's campground in Ormand Beach But, I'm flexible.

I looked at mine through the bathroom window just to make sure she was still waiting on me and a sunnier day to ride.

It makes sense to me. But, I also agree that there are too many people getting rich for this ever to be put into action. For example: Years ago, I got involved with a group of investors trying to promote a portable waste water treatment system plants that would have gone a long way to solving water supply problems in many areas around the world. The system was way cheaper (10%) of the established method of waste water treatment. Far more effective in purifying water by about 100%. Efficient to the point that a system that would keep up with the demand of a city of 100,000 people would fit in a a tractor trailer truck. You would think that such a thing would have changed life the way we know it and would have a profound impact on the quallity of life around the world. A win/win for the entire planet. Did we get this project off the ground? .... NO because we were shut down by the Mafia that owns the waste water treatment industry and is making too much money on the inefficient way we deal with our waste, water and otherwise. Do I think his argument is a sound valid point of view? Absolutely. Do I think it will work? Absolutely not under the present political environment. There are too many people getting rich on the old way. Nothing will ever change until we change our habit of electing public officials that are corrupt. All the problems of mankind could have been solved a long time ago if greed was not part of our laungage.

I had some of those boots but, I couldn't keep the zipper up. After a few steps the zipper would go down.
