Hawthorn Berries

 Met Friend Nancy for breakfast in Churchville.  Then went grocery shopping at my new fav grocery store.  Great time to go since not many people are out shopping that early plus I was full from breakfast so could pass by those 'extras' that look so inviting.   Then went to the County Seat to get my 3 month supply of drugs.  The pharmacy is located inside the old grocery store which has now closed.  In both places - the new grocery store and the pharmacy - I was able to get the closest parking spot available.  In both cases that was still a bit of walking distance from the front door.  The empty parking spaces between me and the front door were marked as parking for disabled, specific spots for military veterans,  for pregnant women, for senior citizens (I don't necessarily like being called a senior citizen so refuse to use those parking spots.)  The spots reserved go on and on - Compact Cars, Hybrid/Electric cars, Employee of the Month, Curbside Pickup Only.  I kinda wish there were only an Accessibility area and a Reserved area.  Accessibility for Disabled people and a Reserved area for anyone else that is 'special'.  Think it would be a more efficient way of allocating the parking spaces.  Of course, might be fun if a business occasionally made some new reserved parking spots: 'Reserved for those who take their dog everywhere they go', 'Reserved for those spending over $100', 'Reserved for those having a bad hair day', 'Lamborghini Parking Only', 'Park It Here', 'Frog Parking - All Others Will be Toad'.  Would bring more people in (at least as far as their parking lot) just to see what signs are up for the day ... and who is parking there.

Ha, liked the frog one. Our local Walmart has a large section of the parking lot reserved for 'cubside pickup' Not that many use it. Kind of annoying.
