I'm in a lousy mood to start with and this subject just grinds my gears.

We get morons parking illegally in front of the credit union down the block, engine idling, rap or some otherwise intolerable noise blaring at window shattering volume, at night. There are so many infractions going on with this that it boggles my mind.

Regularly someone blocks at least part of my laneway, usually while attending something going on at the church next door. Most of the year I can happily drive around around these, but when the snow banks are high it's not possible. I like to be as understanding as possible, but when it was regularly the same vehicle a few years ago, I called the cops to have the car ticketed or towed. A ticket prevented that vehicle again.

The situation around the closest Tim Hortons is bizarre. Coffee withdrawal makes truckers park on the four lane highway, cars park right up to the intersection corners, line up on the highway for the drivethrough, double park in their parking lot, with many of the vehicles idling. Someone will get killed or maimed before anything changes.

I need to go do something to make me happy again.

Peace, Mooh.
