Parking lots are the worst -- the bastards can come at        you from all sides and just because the path was clear two seconds ago        doesn't mean that it's clear NOW.              I didn't really appreciate the seeability of the 1988 Caddy that tried        to kill me. There are always tradeoffs, right?              --        Cheers, Bev        He's your god.
