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.

Only three NHL franchises have won 3 or more consecutive Stanley Cups

If the Tampa Bay Lightning defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight, and then go on to win the Stanley Cup this playoffs; they will become only the fourth franchise in the over 100 year history of the National Hockey League, to have won 3 or more, consecutive, Stanley Cups.

I was blessed to have viewed the New York Islanders third consecutive Stanley Cup win, live at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver as a teenager.
