Parking

I mentioned in an earlier blog that I was driving to a nearby rail station to ride a train into downtown Fort Worth. I've left my rental car there while I was attending GC.

Because of the medical problems I had early this week, I drove the car downtown as often as I could. Parking on the street and in the lots was free Saturday and Sunday and after 6 pm other times. Yesterday, I tried to park on the street during the day to have the flexibility to leave if the pain got out of hand.

I found a space on the street which I could have up to four hours without having to come back and feed the meter. But no matter how many quarters I put in, the meter would not give me more than an hour.

So I came back an hour later and moved to another meter. It ate two quarters and two dimes before I realized it would only take nickels. After using the eight I had, I only got a half hour!

Today, I ride the train.
