wbparked Boxed In

Headed to do errands, and on my last stop, the bank (not the lock you in and have you arrested kind) I parked in the valet/svc striped area in front of the adjacent restaurant. The ATM area at the bank entrance was loaded with people and dogs, and for whatever inexplicable Mill Valley reason, people were standing all over the sidewalk with lattes yacking.

Anyway, I come back a scant 3 minutes later, and a motorcyclist has wedged in behind me and a commercial truck in front of me. Kind of cracked me up.

Unlike any other vehicle on the road, I just popped the bike up and rolled off, with a wave to the restaurant hostess I know. Done deal.

Anyway, another glorious Wrongbikey day…
