PBKID--- Yes, I know the true abbreviation; however, to me you will always be "Peanut Butter-Kid". Luv' Ya' Man.

Bill--- I've only used the handicap parking trick on extremely rare occasions when I'm in/out in 60 seconds or less; like to get a quick newspaper out of the front sidewalk machine, and never for extended periods of time (tickets are $250). I guess it beats parking in the "fire lane". Seriously, I do agree with you that handicap spots should be left to the handicap people and I do comply.

What really erks me sometimes is when people have a close relative who is actually handicapped, and then they get multiple rearview mirror hanging placcards so they can switch them out for their own personal car and get first-class parking. Those are the people who I would just love to help make truly handicapped with a well placed hit to their kneecap!!!
