Raymond this one is for you. I know I should be in bed, but I just had to write this.
The top reason a person should never live in the city.
I returned home the other day from taking my lawn mower to the repair shop. I had the trailer behind my truck and knowing I had to go to Home Depot later, I just backed my trailer and truck into the driveway. Since it was lunch time, I went into the house and ate lunch. When I later got into my truck, I saw a ticket on my window. I had received a parking ticket in my driveway for blocking the sidewalk. This is on a school day at 11:52 am. Not a child in the neighborhood. Even if someone had to walk by the truck, they were still on cement and would not have to go into the street. I was not a happy camper, $38.50.
My neighbor is a cop for KC and I showed him the ticket. He told me the chief of police told them the night before that the parking patrol had been given permission to go out into neighborhoods and start patrolling. The chief said he was against this and was hoping to be able to stop it. It looks as if he wasn't! So today I go online to pay for the ticket and I can't seem to get access. So I call the # and wait on hold for about 15 minutes. I explain to the operator and give her the ticket number. She tells me they show the tag on the ticket as JMA not JM9. The officer wrote the 9 so as it looked like a small A.
So actually I didn't get a ticket, someone else with tags - - - JMA will have a warrant out for his arrest if I don't pay it. Anyway, when I get back I will have to get this all cleared up. I just thought you all might like to know what you are missing living in the city.
A PARKING TICKET IN MY DRIVEWAY. I SURE WISH THEY WOULD COME SHOVEL OFF THE SNOW ON THEIR SIDEWALK. I WONDER IF I COULD GET OFF ON GOOD MEASURE SINCE I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CLEANS THE WHOLE AREA OF SIDEWALKS OFF WITH THE ATV. ANYONE KNOW A GOOD LAWYER. OK, THERE IS NO "GOOD" LAWYER.
About Me

- I am an old, has been football player that is in constant pain from the glory days. Yeah some glory, 6-48-1. One disc partially removed and many more needing removed. I love Jesus and try to serve Him daily. I would say my life is centered around Him and I try to always be a servant of His. He has influenced my life in the past and present. I am married and have two children. I don't sleep much and therefore I have a reason to be grumpy, on occasion. I love the outdoors and watching nature. If you don't know me very well, then you will soon find out by my pictures that I love to hunt, fish and take pictures. I especially enjoy taking my friends and family hunting.
