rather than bother them, we just ran off our own.” The locals weren’t amused. It cost


75 cents to park an hour on-street and $3 in the garage. Of course, this is the opposite of the way the market should work. The convenient on-street spaces should be more than the off-street. However, if you are a garage own-


er and have the chutzpah to pull it off, this is a sure way to increase revenue. At least until they cart you off to jail.


PT Publisher a Sexist Pig (PostedMarch 9) Now I’ve heard it all. I was


accused last night of being a sexist pig because ofwhere the badgeswe provide attendees at the Parking Industry Exhi- bition (PIE) end up when they hang around a woman’s neck. The accuser ran me down at a


PIE-related reception and told me that I, and by inference, all men who run trade shows were sexist because we provide these badges with just the right amount of string so they are strategi-


cally placed on a woman’s physique so that when a male wants to find out her name, they stare directly at that part of a woman that women apparently want men not to notice. I was attempting to come up with


an alternative but was foiled in every direction. The lapel or collar is not good since they are still in the general area of concern. A waist band attach- ment brings attention to one’s “nether regions.”What to do, what to do? My accuser had no solution, but simply continued on about the problem. I thought itwas interesting that this


very person, who shall remain name- less, had no problem when demonstrat- ing how one man had reached over to pick up her badge and massaged her chest by grabbingmy badge and feeling all parts of me above my waist. This caused quite a stir among the people at the reception. I guess what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. I’m going to take the matter under


advisement, but frankly I think the entire conversation may have been due


to the fact that my assailant had had two hours’ sleep the night before and was drinking her third glass of wine. Let me get this straight: Women


spend fortunes on attractive – and often revealing – clothes; they endure the pain of plastic surgery; they spend bil- lions on perfumes and cosmetics – all to make themselves more attractive. However, at the same time, they don’t want you to look at any part of their anatomy other than their eyes. (FYI: This March 9 post got more
