We were walking the dog on the beach, spoke to a few cool Canadians, then back to the car.
We stood around trying to decipher the parking signs where it says 'Nose to kerb'.
There wasn't any kerb that I could see.
I said to the bloke next to me 'You might get an $85 fine facing the wrong way' and he said 'I've lived here for 15 years'.
I said 'There was a bus of musicians that came into town, they pulled their bus into the bus stop, got out, and a parking inspector came over and said 'You can't park here, you'll have to move' so the bloke says 'OK, well load up and move' and he rounds his musicians up and as he's doing so the parking inspector comes back and starts writing a $600 ticket which he gives to the man from the musician bus who said 'I'm getting everyone on the bus' and the parking inspector says 'I told you to move, not to load up'.....you know, give a man a uniform.'
So this young man at the kerb says to me something that blew me away......
'So they took the bus to the bus stop and....man, we're trying to evolve and they're sticking it to us...it's the temporal thing....program running flat out'.
