Dang, CA schools start early! NYC is still on summer break until Sept 9. (Normally the first week of school is right after Labor Day but this year Rosh Hashannah falls during that week too.)

I don't know if the temporary disabled tag is faster than the permanent one.

Hubby has actual disabled plates on his car. He's become very militant about the handicapped parking spots at stores. Apparently it's common at Brigham Young University to tell out of state students that they can park in handicapped stalls. Hubby is pleased to correct that misunderstanding via police ticket books. He's even been the instigating force in getting a college scholarship athlete arrested when said athlete threatened Hubby in front of said ticket-writing cop and then belligerently challenging the cop's right to write the ticket. When Hubby was finally able to park, the athlete was facedown on the tarmac being handcuffed for demonstrated stupidity.

It's the little things that bring him joy these days. I think the cops tell each other to follow his vehicle around because they know fun will ensue.

ita !, I know in the past there was a more simplified process to get a temporary handicapped placard. When I was in a multiple month asthma episode, my doc encouraged me to have one so that I had a quick escape from work if I couldn't breathe. I think it was good for something like 3 months and I never asked to renew it, but it did help a bunch while I had it.

It makes me CRAZY when people are parked in the handicapped spots without a plate/placard. There's someone in my office building who is often parked in the van spot by the door and I can't decide if I wish I knew who it is or not

There's a new things stores are doing, they're getting handicapped plates for their shop vehicles so they can park near their front doors. I don't know how many branded delivery vehicles I've seen with handicapped plates.

That seems illegal, Connie. Unless, I guess, if they hire handicapped delivery people.

Jesse- what is that glorious good stuff with a man trying to keep the kittens contained from! It is adorable!

Seriously, wtf.

Also, yes, that man with kittens is amazing. I just came by it on my dash, but flea posted this on FB this morning: [link]

It's always good to remember that you can't always see the reason someone has a tag.

That said, they've had massive crackdowns the last few years in Chicago with people (especially city employees, though that may be who was specifically targeted rather than a particularly bad behaving group) using a tag belonging to a relative to park all day outside their jobs downtown. And good on 'em, because that is some straight up bullshit.

OMG, you have to look at this man:

Aiden Shaw (born Aiden Finbar Brady,[1] 22 February 1966, Harrow, Middlesex, United Kingdom) is a British author, musician, model and former gay porn star.

If I thought he looked like that during his...film career, I'd be googling right now.
