fuzmeister: Damn It.
What a terrible day today... I wish I could post something good - to be honest, I am jealous that David beat Metroid Prime 3 already and Kyle is further than I am. Oh, well. That's life sometimes.
Reason things are so bad today is that my car is currently impounded in the Pittsburgh auto impound until Tuesday at 8am. I was supposed to fly out of Pittsburgh on business to North Dakota Tuesday at 10am. Obviously, making that was going to be next to impossible.
So I rescheduled my flight for later. My bigger concern right now is the 200+ dollars I'm going to have to pay the city of Pittsburgh to get my automobile back. We tried a lot today including begging the police. What luck that tomorrow is a holiday and, of course, I'll still be paying for it to be in the impound even though I can't pick it up.
I'm going to say that the fault of the traffic violation is 50/50. It was my fault that I parked on the street where I did. However, the yellow paint was all but worn off and we didn't see it in the dark. Also - there's apparently a driveway belonging to some old recluse there. I couldn't tell really - bricks overgrown with grass... in downtown Pittsburgh. Strange really. Fortunately, Kate and I had some really good friends and I'll more than likely be able to make it home and, hopefully, get a ride to the impound at 8am on Tuesday morning.
Regardless, it just sucks. I'm going to be paying out the ass for a parking violation.
Here's hoping the tow truck dudes didn't damage my ride.

Sucks about your car. Sounds like it would have been difficult for you tell anything was wrong with where you parked before you did it. If only these cities maintained their paint and crotchety geezers maintained their properties, this might have been avoided.
Did you try crying? I hear that helps sometimes.
