    Drat. Just back, and now it's probably too late. It's already 2:05 am here, which means just after midnight there. :down:

    OK, I wasn't going to talk about it but...

    Yesterday, I had a best-seat-in-the-house ticket to the Symphony in Pittsburgh. Been waiting for this for 6 months. Weather cooperated for the trip down, and car was in top running condition after $$$ repairs. That morning I pulled my ticket and my ticket receipt and my prepaid parking pass and my prepaid parking receipt from the original mailed envelope they had come in, that had been so carefully watched over for 6 months, and put them in my wallet The concert ticket and the receipts went into the money compartment of my wallet. The parking pass went into a credit card slot. I left in plenty of time to drive 200 miles. About 2 miles from Pittsburgh on the Interstate I noticed that traffic was getting pretty heavy. The closer I got the slower we advanced.

    Although you think where this is going, it gets worse. I finally get to downtown Pittsburgh with still two and a half hours to spare but finally realize that all this traffic is for some big sports game at the arena and/or a convention center event or maybe both also happening on Sunday afternoon and the streets in downtown Pittsburgh are bumper to bumper with cars and pedestrians. I kept my cool and carefully examined my map to get to the theater and parking area. Unfortunately I missed the best turn and had to go on to the next street to go around the block and double back. That took a half hour of creeping one car per turn of the traffic light. I actually passed the concert hall and saw the parking ramp on the next block. I'm home I thought. Yea!

    Continuing through the intersection I see that the parking ramp (as all the other parking places I had noticed) had signs saying "FULL, NO PARKING EXCEPT FOR LEASE OR PASS), Still the streets were full of cars trying to find parking. As I crept nearer to the entrance to the parking building that I had a paid pass for I noticed the attendant turning away people. I pulled my ticket stuff from the money compartment of my wallet then got his attention by waving my parking receipt so he could see it and he shook his head "NO" then he held up a credit card shaped thing that was white with a red triangle on it and shook his head "YES". I cursed my luck because I was positive I had no such card. So I drove past to the next intersection and decided I'd just drive around and maybe find another parking place.

    If not you're familiar with downtown Pittsburgh, it's a triangular peninsula between two rivers, much like Manhattan but 10 times smaller and connects to the mainland via lots of bridges. The two rivers around downtown Pittsburg are BIG rivers, so the bridges are LONG bridges with lots of lanes and traffic. While trying to drive around the block I got stuck in a lane that led to one of the bridges at the next intersection and then zoom, I was in a lane that took me over the biggest bridge of all, straight west over the river and through a mountain tunnel. As I was exiting the city I noticed that from this side the traffic going into the city was even worse than it was when I came in from the north.

    At that point I swore violently at my windshield and then gave up and connected to the Interstate going back home. On the way home about an hour north of Pittsburgh I stopped at a convenience store and bought a Coke. When I opened my wallet to pay for the purchase I noticed the white card with red triangle parking pass in one of my credit card slots.

    Ghaaaaaaaaaaaaaa................... :down:

    I didn't mention today that I'm getting old, but this might be a clue.


    ...so after all that, you never made it to the concert at all then?

    No. :red:

    If I had not had a senior moment at the parking garage I would have made it. But once I was out of the tunnel two miles out of downtown on the wrong side of the rivers again I knew the traffic going back into town was a parking lot, and in town the parking places would be even rarer, I just started for home.

    I'd planned to have a nice lunch in the city in some bistro or restaurant and a nice steak dinner on the way home. I ended up at a Bob Evans restaurant for lunch and had a perfectly miserable, tasteless, over-caloried, overcooked plate of mush. Then I diverted from the Interstate and took the mountain route north and ran into terrible rain and the aftermath of rain, flooding the road. I finished the day with a frozen TV dinner from my freezer. Still mulling how stupid I'd been. I was right there. It all would have happened just like I'd planned if only I had not had a brain fart.

    When some youngster witnesses me having a senior moment I warn them "Don't get old, the attendant problems are not worth the discount at the movies!".

    Wanna feel old?

    The interviewer guy looks at the school blackboards and says "so, this is cursive writing?" as he looks at the 100 year old school lessons. The teacher he's interviewing says "yes, this is what we don't teach anymore".

    To my eyes it was all perfectly legible English cursive. Clean & neat. The fact that they felt that they had to explain what it was made me feel like a discarded antique. :-S On the other side of the coin, perhaps I have a future as a translator of cursive English writings. :roll:

    When a culture discards a major part of its language some malevolent force is at work.

    Getting younger or becoming immortal. Part of me is afraid I am immortal and everyone else is not.

    It's because nobody can stand listening to someone learning to play the banjo for more than 15 minutes without killing the player!
