    I saw the bale, the shadow and the hole all at the same time. I quit drinking 40 yrs ago. I wonder what's wrong.

    Keeping this thread going to honor FarmerBob.

    Yesterday I backed into the end spot. When I can I search out spots where my neighbor has a straight back to hopefully avoid getting hit. This left a weird triangle of pavement to my left. I come out from showering and an oversize has made a spot to my left. My first thought was “he won’t be able to get out in the morning”. So this morning the make a spot on my left was lucky I’m a decent guy because the make a spot guy in front of me wouldn’t answer his door.

    What are these on the ground? Torn oversize flags? Maybe he won't sleep so heavily next time someone comes to call.

    Ok, @Long FLD please enlighten me on something that has nothing to do with parking, but it catches my eye every time I see a picture of one.
    What's with the rag over the steering column? In 22 years of driving, I haven't figured out why some have them on there. I've also seen pictures where they're on the door handles, which I can understand
