Ok, I may have been a little harsh yesterday. I went to the gym a few minutes earlier today than normal and---gasp!---there were no parking spots to be found. Three other cars circling the rather small lot like vultures looking for a quick lunch. I made a self-satisfied "I'll show them" look to myself in my rearview mirror and drove around the building to the parking garage that I had always promised would give me plenty of options for parking---level one meaning "feeling lazy today", level two meaning "I've got energy!", level three meaning "I can take these flights faster than you and still work out for 10 hours" etc ad nauseaum----but when I drove around the building I found that the parking garage was only for the students and faculty of the business school in the same building as the gym. That wasn't good. So a long drive around several blocks (Beaverton loves them some one way only streets) and I got back to the parking lot I usually park in just in time to see a bunch of gym members leaving the building with their rolled up exercise mats. Seems there's a noon yoga class that hogs all the spots at lunchtime, hence the need for the valet, so I guess I'll be waiting till one to go to the gym from now on.
So to all the lazy-asses----er, sorry, didn't mean to be bitter---I may have offended yesterday I would like to say I see your point. You can't park on the street. You can't park in the car lot across the (one way) street and you can't park in the grass. Or the parking garage, so I may have been a little hasty with my lambaste. I may be a hot head but I am also big enough to eat my crow…….and now I only hate the yoga people, hoggers of the parking spot, the lot of them.
But I still hate the city of Beaverton.

Of course you realize most of them drove from their homes about three blocks away though
I concur, Beaverton sucks. I avoid down-town like the plague and Beaverton like Hep B. DMP
I'm guilty of that too though, I did't spend $20k of my own money to be walking, even if I'm going to the store and its only a block away. "I'm just saying"
