I Saw The Sign

"If you had a million days to do it in, you couldn't rub out even half the "Fuck you" signs in the world."

~J. D. Salinger 

I saw that sign the other day, and it reminded me of the song from the 90's. I immediately began humming it, and I have been humming it since! Don't get me wrong, I love, Ace Of Base, but I can't get the song out of my head! Of course if you drive around Stockton you will see all kinds of signs. Some seem more like omens, rather than a perplexing. The city of Stockton really needs to do better about things like this... and the crime rate. It's apparent the powers that be have missed the sign!

Speaking of missing the sign... folks really need to stop doing this. Park the damn car in the space. The hashmarks are not part of the space! This is becoming one of my favorite pet peeves. As a handicapped person, I have lost the ability to park in a space, because of fellow handicapped people engaging in this behavior. JUST PARK IN THE DAMN SPACE! To be fair, I see non-handicapped people parking in these special spots as well. Sigh. All I can say is... READ THE SIGN!

It is, what it is!

Walmart, On A Saturday Afternoon

 

“Disagreement is one thing; disrespect is quite another.”

 
― Richard V. Reeves 

 

Sigh, Walmart on a Saturday afternoon. 

 

In my time, since getting to know my wheelchair, Phoebe, I have seen a lot of things, this takes them all. I actually started a file a while back of of folks who park in handicapped spots, with no placard and no specialized plates. Sometimes it's been commercial vehicles, sometimes crooked parking, TRULY crooked parking, but three, able bodied bikers, with music playing at 200, just taking what they wanted, is about as disrespectful as it gets. But we live in a time of take what you want, do what you want, and there is also a turn toward disabled persons, such as myself, being cast aside. We don't matter anymore. I knew this would happen one day, Trump's disrespect for this community finally wore off on a certain class of people. 

 

It's a no brainier, if you disrespect me, you are disrespecting yourself two fold. That act was not just disrespectful, it was illegal. So what else are they doing?
