Small victory in the post holiday parking lot wars

[Ipedog]

So, I'm off to the local WalMart looking for one of those cup-holder-change-consolidator-thingies (http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/2706067735/m/4951034941/r/4951034941#4951034941) that you good folks told me about.

When I get there the parking lot is MOBBED. Not a spare space to be found. I'm cruising the isles and see a space in front of me but there are three other SUV's between me and it. No way I'll get it. First suv, a Ford explorer pauses, looks, and drives on. Second suv, a Land Rover Disco, does the same. Thrid suv, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, does the same.

Ok, I'm thinking there must be a land mine or some dead guy laying in the space to prevent all these tough suv's from parking. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif I pull up and the space is half full from a snow bank. Not much, maybe half the space and sloped at maybe 15 degrees. So what did I do?

I pulled right in, no worries, got my change thing, paid my money, and came back out. As I pulled out I could see the same three suv's cruizing about still looking for spaces...

I don't know... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I could deal with a bit less snow and a bit more Florida right about now.

Actually its been warm the last few days (30's) and most of the snow has melted leaving big piles of dirty ice. Yuk.

This can actually bear the load of a big truck though http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I just sink in the fluffy stuff.
