The Anti-Meter Maid

The Anti-Meter Maid

I visited Sausilito for the first time after having lived in The City for umpteen years. It didn't do much for me and I doubt I will repeat.

I was struck by the number of people in wheelchairs and other mobile-assistive devices along the main drag of shopping and shops. I wondered about it for a while.

As I was feeding our parking meter a woman hustled past and put a quarter in the meter for the car in front of ours. Then she put one in the meter for the car in front of that one. Wah!

She said she hated to see people get tickets, so when she had spare change she walked up and down the strip feeding parking meters. (So different from my days of strolling the upper Haight)

We marked the time allotted to us on our meter and headed off for ice cream and other things. I wished I had taken the woman's picture.

We were late getting back to our car, but returned to see we had 30 minutes remaining. We'd been hit by the anti-parking patrol officer!

And then there she was. So I took her picture.
