catsittingstillMy car got towed today.
It was just minding its own business, parked at the side of the street, no yellow line, no "No Parking" sign, nothing. I came back from sign language class and found it was gone, and reported it stolen.
Apparently that street is too narrow for people to be allowed to park beside it, and people just have to kind of know that when they hatch. Tomorrow I'm going to find out exactly how wide the street has to be before you can park there, and take to carrying a measuring tape. I've got a nice 16 footer that should do, from working on the boat.
When I got to the towing place it turned out that the guy on the phone had neglected to mention that I needed to pay them in cash, so I had to go back to the bank and then back to the towing place again, so I could pay them 145$ in cash.
In one dollar bills.
I thought about paying in coins, but I don't have a wheelbarrow.
