He doesn’t listen to Ole Remus, stay away from crowd’s means you don’t go to events.
And, Nobody’s going to jail.
This is pretty well the substance of. the comment I was going to make. Dead on accurate.
We are ALL in agreement !
I used the same principle when showing up for work.
That happened to me for a doctor’s appointment at the hospital. I drove around for 20 munities and could not find a parking spot. There were 5 other vehicles looking s well.
I’ll go right by a restaurant if there’s no parking near the door. Especially if I’m riding.
I went to work several times and the parking lot was full. Guess they had enough people and turned around and went home.
The real challenge, when you’ve reached geezer status, IMHO, is remembering where you parked your vehicle in said parking lot after having driven around it five times hunting for a spot.
I try to find one on the periphery near a tree I can use as a land mark, if I can. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come upon old people wandering around trying to find their vehicle.
One guy nailed it, “All these cars look alike”, especially the ubiquitous SUV.
1) I drive old(er) cars. Easy to spot.
2) I am applying TODAYfor a Handicrapped parking sticker. The time has come. My right knee sounds like gravel when you palpate it, and I can barely walk any distance without it failing.
Getting old is NOT for sissies.
Sounds like it’s time for a larger caliber Igor, just in case.
And yes Nemo I do the same except it’s for the shade in these parts, not worried about the bird shit
Just as well; avoiding Stupid People doing Stupid Things in Stupid Places is a lot harder than it used to be.
And Nemo, I generally walk around with a hand in my pocket, pushing the button on the key fob, listening and watching for the beep or flashing lights.
Also, the beaters I drive look like nobody else’s car, so I’ve got that going for me.
