Expired Meters And A Pockeful Of Change

--by merv, posted Oct 22, 2008

Just another simple one. I noticed that I was walking with a slight list the other day due to a large amount of change in my right pocket. Now, I know that I could have shifted my ballast just a bit and evened things out, but there were cars parked there on expired meters :-) Oh Darn! It was a weekday too! So I engaged in a paperwork reduction act of my own. I figured that the metermaid wouldn't have to write so many tickets if I fed some meters. Welp, I made a couple of blocks and was walking on a more even trim, and didn't have to shift ballast at all :-)
