Respect Parking Attendants!

FLASHBACK

Alberta, 1987, courtesy of The Edmonton Sun... Here's a guy who's pleading for a second chance after he was issued a parking ticket in one of the towns near Edmonton.... Did his dramatic begging work?
You would be surprised with the outcome.

Now could this ever happen here? There are occasionally a few news reports of local council parking attendants being abused for carrying out their duties by enraged motorists ....

I look forward to the day when meters are used instead like in many western cities as there are inconvenient times when we run out of tickets ... and the nearest ticket-selling shop is frustratingly nowhere in sight.

Max's Accurate US Prediction!

This article came out in another favorite Canadian paper of mine, the racy Edmonton Sunday Sun on October 23rd 1988. Max was right-the well-respected popular Gipper, Ronald
Reagan beat the death cycle and died out of office.

An update: The past US presidents who were elected in a year ending with a zero and lost their lives were:
1840- William Harrison; 1860-Abrahim Lincoln; 1880- James Abram Garfield; 1900- William McKinney; 1920-Waren G. Harding; 1940-Franklin Delano Roosevelt and lastly, 1940-John F. Kennedy.
