Climate Change? Nahhh ...

Finding my tiny Civic and (not-as-tiny) Camry in a grocery store parking lot is getting harder. Invariably I'm surrounded by two behemoths and almost have to be at my space before I can actually see the car.

 

A friend and former colleague worked at McMurdo Station as a cook. Here's her account of the experience (hope it's not behind a paywall). https://archive.jsonline.com/featur...95.html/#!page=1&pageSize=10&sort=newestfirst

If that link hits a wall, here's a link from her blog: The Deep Breath Before the Plunge

 

We'll all be moving down to McMurdo before long.

Bring your giant trucks.

Looks like the UP is the place to be. Or the Czech Republic. Or North Korea.

As I was saying . . . this morning:

 

The thing that pisses me off most is 1. parking spots aren't big for many trucks/SUVs and 2. if one is parked beside you, you basically had to back out at the speed of smell and hope a car isn't coming because you can't see around them.

 

But it still didn't break the drought.

I was at the airport a couple months ago and trying to make a flight. (I didn’t.) The first spot in the garage was between two full-sized pickups. One truck’s right front wheel was entirely in my spot. Some of the people driving these things are oblivious assholes.

 

A friend takes photos of this for his timeline. It's not just pickup owners.
