So much humor in life. Take for instance the following letter written in to our local paper. A gentlemen indicated he had went to the local license branch and was upset at the clerk for putting his last name on the handicap placard he was requesting. He gives the following reasoning:
"I find her action in this totally unnecessary and in fact could jeopardize the safety of anyone with their last name on the placard. My concern in this action is that anyone could see the name look for an address with that last name nearest to that supermarket where the vehicle is parked and either go while the person is shopping and rob them or confront the person knowing that a handicap person lives at this address. In today's world of privacy this practice is jeopardizing anyone who requests a handicap placard in the state of Indiana. I will not be using this placard for safety reasons."
Ok, perhaps there's some good points made. The kicker is how the letter ends---with the writer's full name and city! So in essence the letter says "I refuse to reveal my name and the fact that I am handicapped to prevent criminals from coming to my residence...sincerely, Phinneas J. Whoopee, Smalltown USA"
My mind considers the following verse from the Bible: "Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent..." Proverbs 17:28

Well, look at you now...got your own blog! I was just saying to my self the other day, "Self, wouldn't it be great if there was some vehicle of communication where we could delve deeper into the mind of Rick Leach and hear more about his perspective and musings on life and all of it's wonderful adventures and eccentricities." And now my dreams have come true! thanks, Rick!
Concerning your post, i just about screw myself in to the pavement when i see someone use their handicap sticker to their advantage, such as parking in the spot but letting a "healthy" person walk in. If the healthy person was going to walk in, why not park in a regular space and open up the spot for someone who could really use it. Thanks for the rant and welcome to cyberspace!
