I paid $18 for parking today & then played elastic man

• I paid $18 for parking today in Vancouver.

• When I pulled into the parking lot, there was one decent spot for a my SUV, but the car to the right, was too far to the left, but still in the spot.

• So, when I parked, I had to park too far to the left, but still in the spot.

• When I returned from my appointment, there was a new vehicle to my left.

• The photos show how much room I had on my driver's side.

• So, I played elastic man and entered my vehicle through the passenger door and stretched my way over.

• This was a first elastic man episode since the Maple Ridge, Walmart a few years ago, but the parking was free there.

• On a positive note, even after this, with my next appointment and a sleep apnea related MD checkup, my blood pressure was 103 over 66, checked three times by a nurse.

• That was a pleasant surprise and even low, by my almost always low, blood pressure standards.

  1. My Dad asked me how I got in. Through the back hatch? Through the driver side window? I went through the passenger side door. If need be I would have gone through the driver side, even the window (hopefully down) if needed. I would remain lawful and avoid being vengeful, but I suppose footprints could happen...I was not happy with the situation, at all. but I can understand that the parking is tight for everyone and some people will just think about self. But, I mentioned to my Dad that my Mom (disabled) when she was alive and driving would not have had hope of getting into a crowded vehicle. A reminder to consider others, I suppose.

  2. Sir Charles Nelson Chuckles, that reminds me of a somewhat similar situation where I closed the passenger door of your Dodge (?) with my foot and pushed in the door. Thankfully fixed, right there.
