I went to Home Depot today and tried to park my car. There weren’t any spots available that were even remotely close to the entrance, so I had to park in Oregon and walk.

What seemed like three weeks later, while walking towards the building, I passed no less than thirteen handicapped parking spaces. Thirteen! I’ve got no real issue with disabled folks (except that they get all the good parking spots), but do they really need thirteen spots? I’ve never been anywhere where thirteen vans pulled up and thirteen wheelchairs got out and went shopping at one time. (Not even at Wal-Mart). Are they going to hold a rally or something?

For the record, traffic through Home Depot was insane.  But only three of the thirteen spaces were being used.
