The Glass is half full

So, for those of you that don't know Provo is big about parking. There are many parking lots that are strict about where and when you can park. Well, i was at Nikki's place and i parked in a visitor's spot. This particular spot was only available for four hours at a time.

Well, i thought that i would be able to hear the tow truck coming and move. This, unfortunately was not the case. five and a half hours later i came out to see an empty parking space instead of my car. The good news is that the towing company is one building down the street.

So i called the company and walked down and waited for the man to come give me my car. it ended up costing more than i care to share. As i talked to the guy that towed my truck he tried to cheer me up. He admitted that my car was the hardest he has ever tried to tow. A combination of the small size of my parking space and the fact that my E-brake was on, made it so it took him a half an hour to hook up my car instead of the normal five minutes.

So to sum up, i did have to pay for my mistake, but at least i annoyed the guy that towed my car :)


Ps. Some of you know that there is a new girl in my life. Her name is Nikki (Damon said he approved of the name). and in response to some request below there is a picture of the my beautiful girl. Enjoy

Oh, man. Getting towed is the pits. Sorry you had to deal with that. I have always liked all the tow truck drivers I've met. -George

I laugh at you - Ha Ha - only been towed because I called them to come get my broken car - Nice to put a face with the name - do I see vegetables on that tray she is by? Dare I think you ate some of them?
