My old house, the one I sold in Denver...there was this old split rail fence right up against the driveway on the edge of the sidewalk.There was also a chain link fence about 4' in from the split rail fence.
Narrow driveway to begin with, but one morning I was leaving for work and there were cars all over the street. One on the left side of the driveway and one across the street.
I tried to cut a sharp right turn to be able to get out of the driveway and forgot about the split rail fence. Caught the post on a turn and wedged it right into that quarter panel right before the wheel well.
After that I took the liberty of pulling that fence out completely I was so angry.
i came home one morning about 10 years ago to find a car blocking each side of the driveway, and cars directly across the street from my driveway, making the 22 foot wide driveway entrance about 8 foot wide.
these cars all had out of state tags on them, and were for a party 2 blocks away. the first thing i did was call the cops.
as the cop car was pulling up, i was hooking a chain to the first of the 5 cars i "moved".
seeing as the cop was my cousin, he called in for 5 wreckers for improper parking impounds, and told them to stage at the end of the street.
i pulled all 5 of them 400ft down the street to the parking lot that was there, and the wreckers towed them away, after he slapped a parking ticket on each one.
then i came home and went to bed.
i never had my driveway blocked after that either.

Thank you very much for asking. It is going alright. I still want one most of the time, but it will be 4 months next Tuesday, which is certainly a new record for me. I quit for 3 months almost 20 years ago, should have stayed quit then, cuz it looks like I waited too long this time.

Thanx, and yes, a dime around here. But when I checked e-truckers.com diesel was still falling a little.

Pat, I was given 3 different inhalers and 1 steroid tablet to use. The steroids for 1 week and the inhalers 2 times a day and come back and see the Dr. in a month. I suppose I will be told then if any good is coming of this. AZ. Mark told me it took him about 2 weeks to notice any improvement using the same inhalers as I am using. But his disease is somewhat different than mine and I do not think he smoked for 48 years, in fact that is 3 years longer than he's even been walking this earth.
