i think blotter was referring to the original post, no snows!

after all, you can't even see if snow is in the lines from that far away! pretty sure he is though.

anywho... having a lot to myself... especially underground or such, makes me think i'm in a zombie movie...

I almost always park at the far end of the lot, even in the "couldn't care less" Subaru.  Why?

1. It's almost always difficult to get in and out of close spots.  Pedestrian traffic, more cars, etc, make it difficult.

2. I'm more than able bodied and plan to stay that way.  A little extra walking is good for me.

The exception is when there's been a lot of new snow and I'm pushing a full shopping cart.  It's damned near impossible to get a cart into the "hinter regions" of a parking lot in those conditions.  Otherwise, I'm at the back...

I heard that if you write a note using lipstick on the door window, the driver will obviously get your message plus the stuff is hard to wash off.  I've never done it so I can't confirm the difficulty of lipstick removal from glass but it is tough to remove from clothes ;D
