Royal Oak Parking Meters
Your remarks about the Royal Oak parking meter situation were great. I, too, resent getting ticketed after driving a half hour to shop in some of my favorite RO stores. Retail transactions often take longer than expected, and it is a major disappointment to be greeted at your car by a parking ticket. It's like the city is saying "up yours" as you drive away.
Weather mania
Boy you should live down here in Florida. I stay here for several months. It starts like this. Who will be getting colder weather this night. Tune in on the 6pm news to find out. Then they start to tell you what the temp will be . Usually below 50 degrees. Then come the hysterics. Turn your faucets on so they drip. Layer your clothing. Prevent frostbite by doing this and that. WE laugh and cannot believe how they carry on. Three days before thunderstorm starts, they start telling us to be on the look out for tornadoes. God it is exciting living in this modern age. The news media, all of them , must be on Prozac.We also have weather radios that were not working because of some snafu. They had been telling the public to purchase them because they were the best thing to get you awake in case of a tornado., Well they failed on the day a few days ago when bad weather came in. The intelligent news media came up with this idea. Keep you telelvisions on and listen to the weather and keep your computers fired up so you can be on top of things. Only thing they forgot was that much of the electrcity was out. You just gotta love our newscasters.
