I was told by a friend who reads my blog, that sometimes,
they are a bit long. Also, this person, admittedly, doesn’t read so fast and it
sometimes takes them longer to finish reading the entire entry. Such a dilemma.
For that reason I’m going to do two things with this one just for them. The
rest of you can follow along as usual.
So here’s what I’ll do. I’m going to keep it short, and I’m
going to write slower just because I know they can’t read fast. I want to make
sure they keep up with the rest of the class. Cool? Now to the topic at hand.
I was outside of an eatery that had designated handicapped parking
spaces in unusual locations to say the least. They were, however, clearly marked
and unmistakeable. One was near the roadside entrance to the parking lot and
the other at the back/side of the building beside the delivery door. Clearly someone
was not thinking when they were paid to design this convenience for our
handicapped citizens.
The people utilizing these clearly designated spaces all
had the proper permits prominently displayed in the windshields of their
vehicles. That’s not what I’m questioning here. I’m wondering how these permits
are doled out. What is the criteria needed to obtain one of these windshield passes?
They must hand them out like candy at Gramma’s house.
I witnessed a number of vehicles park in these spots that
all had permits clearly affixed in the windshield. But one struck me as odd and
made me question the screening process of said permits.
This was a contractor van that had its services of home
renovations clearly emblazoned on the side. Now this seems like a pretty
physical type of job. What is the handicap that allows you to have a parking permit
and continue to do home renovations.
So what is the handicap? Physical? No. They run their own
contracting company. Mental? No. They run their own contracting company. I’m
curious as to the criteria for these permits being issued. Am I Missing
something here?
Short and slow enough for you?
