Thank Gog for Allof

Today is part of a three day Arab holiday here in NYC when we don't have to move all our cars from one side of the street to another. There often is not enough room, and we double-park until the parking restrictions are over. If you don't move your car the ticket is $55. If you do move it, and many double-park until the time to move them back, for the 1 1/2 hours, for sanitation to sweep the street usually, and don't get to your car by the exact minutes, the fine is $115 for double-parking. You think this is fair? The people who make an effort to aid the city are often screwed over a couple of minutes, and of course the City can just say...what...it's illegal to double park. If they ticketed all the conscientious people who can't find enough parking, and are "allowed" to double-park, there would be a wide-scale uproar. Because of a few minutes over the 1 1/2 hours they do ticket the double-parked cars moved, often next to neighbors they may know. Thankfully we get a break now and then for religious holidays? They just rescinded a Sunday ticketing, back to "parking rules in effect, except Sunday" too they brought out a couple of years ago. Freedom of religion here also means having days one doesn't have to move a car.
