Parking Karma: now in deficit
So I'm running some errands today heading back from the Hill to Dupont on Massachusetts Avenue when I decide that now would be a good time to stop at the AAA store at 15th and New York for some maps for my upcoming trip (I'm leaving tomorrow). No way in hell I'll get a spot, I thought. Middle of the day, a block from the White House, it's all permits and double-parked UPS trucks by now.
But, I thought, it's worth a swing by. This 5 percent shot of getting anything within five blocks would be worth it if I saved the 20-minute walk both ways after finding a spot in Dupont, which can take just as long.
And there it was. I almost wanted to take a picture. I parked across New York Avenue from AAA, in a metered spot, without any hassle or circling or anything.
And yes, I want a f*cking medal.
But this means that I'll be stuck circling around the backwoods looking for a spot to pay this one back to the parking gods.

Can we see a writing sample, or are you who I think you are, in which case I already get your weekly emails?
