Folks might be shocked at the parking stall dimension requirements from town to town. I design sites for a large commercial client we have all heard of all across the west and 2 towns side by side can have min stall dimensions of (8'x14') and the other (10'x21'). Its also wild how different the number of required stalls can be- for the same exact building and use it can be 12 stalls up to 42 stalls. Not to mention driveaisle widths, compact stalls, etc. Its all over the place, being rural, urban, suburban has no bearing from what ive seen... the only known is the number of ADA stalls required- because thats federal code.
Also, parking garages are fucking nightmares and i have warned, in writing, clients that the architects design will not accomodate anything larger than a sedan...and then they dont and jurisdictions get pissed at all the public complaints. The problem is that parking stalls are incredibly valuable in those big urban buildings' parking garages (as it allows more units to be built) so they get crammed in wherever juuuuuust barely fits. Its all about that $$$.

Same architects designed the parking decks under the Rideau Center in Ottawa. Fucking top of the class, those geniuses.

Well, it wouldn't be THAT big of a deal to begin with if more people drove non-behemoths. Whenever I go downtown, or anywhere else that parking might be tight, I bring my little hatchback. Fits a family of 4 just fine. I always get a chuckle out of people squeeeeeeezing their Tahoes through the parking garages, clearing the roof by mere inches and struggling to park at all. I see a tiny spot and I'm like "I'll take that!" Especially satisfying when parallel parking in spots where trucks/SUVs fear to tread.

The best way to reduce swelling in the legs is to walk, or if you can't, to actively flex the ankle up and down. Actively means using your calf muscles. There's a big group of big veins in the calf muscles (soleus plexus) with one way valves so when you use the calf muscles they act like a pump and squeeze blood and fluid towards the heart. When not actively using those muscles elevate, obviously.

Being told that I need a total shoulder replacement two months after having a ‘repair’ of a previous surgery is annoying me.

Thanks, man! I’m still a very positive person, in general. Could be way worse.
At this point it ain’t even complaining, it’s just “Get a load of this, guys…what’s next?”
It is great to be home, though!Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident

Dude... We're gonna change your name from Rideit to Watch it.
When your town sits in the middle of the NYC watershed and every watercourse drains into a reservoir there are onerous restrictions. NYC sued my town to get rid of the recycling drop and they won. That was ~10 years after they forced us to shut down the brush dump that was there for 80 years. We've always had to pay for garbage pickup and if it doesn't fit in the can you have to get a dumpster or take it to a metal recycler (and those are all more than 20 miles away).

Tiger balm, icy hot, leg up on the wall, compression bandage, have all been working well. Read this last night and went out for a 5km walk and guess what - the swelling is like 80% gone. I swear there was a moment around km #4 where I could feel mobility return and things sort of loosen up. This morning, I can see my ankle again! Now it'll just be a matter of ignoring soreness while I ski but that's easy.

I wonder how many they wrecked before they got that shot. There's a lot of rubber on the concrete.
Family that lived down the street rented another neighbors garage for their motor boat. The neighborhood as late 1920's, the driveways are very narrow and the houses very close together with detached garages in the back. The entertainment on weekends was listening to the dad, with his huge booming voice, instucting teenage son as the kid tried to back the boat into the garage It was good for at least a half hour. But I got to hand it to both father and son--neither ever lost their cool.
Been there done that. I'm going skiing.
