Thursday, September 23, 2004 Got this in the mail the other day ************* NOTICE OF VIOLATION DECISION SUMMARY The respondent has been charged with violating Traffic Rule 4-08(f)(7) by stopping, standing or parking a vehicle in a manner which obstructs a curb area which has been cut down, lowered or otherwise constructed or altered to provide access for persons with disabilities. Respondent states that the vehicle was not fully blocking ramp and there was no sign at this location and presents four photos. Respondent's claim for dismissal is rejected because parking at a pedestrian ramp is prohibited and the defenses presented do not excuse the violation as the driver is responsible to locate and adhere to all regulations on the block prior to parking. ************* $165. Sigh. Don't tell me that I'm not helping NYC get out of debt. It's so silly - there was another area for the same park that had big signs saying "ACTIVE DRIVEWAY" and yellow painted curbs. This one had none, so I didn't even notice it. There was enough room for me to park - the majority of the ramp was blocked by another car. My car ended up covering maybe a foot of the ramp, which was about 8 ft wide. oh well. posted by Allan | 9/23/2004 12:02:00 PM | 6 comments Tuesday, September 21, 2004 Two things: 1. If you had 3g's burning a hole in your pocket, would you do this? An experience that not all of us will ever be able to have in our lifetimes. I can see how some people would shell out the dough... 2. This book is a good example of why amazon customer reviews increases sales. posted by Allan | 9/21/2004 10:43:00 AM | 1 comment Monday, September 13, 2004 Whoa! and what is this monstrosity, you ask? It's a giant shovel =) Quoting another site: It stands over 310 ft tall, over 700 feet long and weighs more than 100 million pounds. At a cost of $100 million, it took 5 years to design and manufacture....then another 5 years to assemble on site. The bucket wheel is over 70-ft in diameter with 20 buckets each of which can hold over 20 cubic yards. It can remove 100,000 cubic yards of material a day. posted by Allan | 9/13/2004 03:00:00 PM | 5 comments |
