The parking game
The odd risk is good for the spirit. This morning, I decided to go into the city to buy a kilo of our favourite consumer drug (coffee), carefully ground to my exacting standards by Barista. At least, I think that was her name; when you go to the coffee store at fortnight intervals, it’s rare that you establish a first-name rapport. But back to taking a risk. In the old city, cars are not welcome, and finding a parking spot comes down to chance. I spotted a vacant meter on a side street, dropped my coin in the slot and registered no change.
