One of the consequences of working at home now is that I have to move my car for street cleaning. I used to always just be at work (with my car) on Thursdays at noon.

It& #39;s a little nerve-wracking. I& #39;m pretty good at math, but for some reason it& #39;s really difficult for me to interpret the signs for which side of the street is 1st & 3rd Thursdays & which is 2nd & 4th. Right now I& #39;m just watching out my window to see what everyone else is doing.

Whew, looks like I’m parked on the correct side. The street sweeper AND the tow truck come a few minutes before noon & perch at the top of the street like vultures.

Oh, good, they’re only ticketing okay, not towing. I think a concession to the pandemic. I stuck my head out the window and the ticketer waved at me to ask if it was my car she was about to ticket. That was kind.
