Thank You Overland P.D.

I never thought I would do this but you know what they say about that. Thank you Overland Police Department. The other day while parking and unloading my wheel chair at Home Depot. Two men in a Red Z something pulled up in and used a placard, to park in an accessible space. Well out came two strapping contraction workers who then walked rather healthfully into the store. I mentioned this to the greater and did my business. While going out to my truck a Overland Police Officer who was out on patrol was driving up. I pointed out the discrepancy and asked if she could validate their placard. Well she pulled over and waited and I went on my way. Well my brother was at the same store right about this time and told me today that there were three officers there talking to these men when he came out of the store. It about time that this is enforced heck it could even be one big money maker for any city who took a zero tolerance to this type of offence.

3 or 4 inches of snow No Problem


Well yesterday we had our first major snowstorm in St. Louis with between 3 to 4 inches. I decided to go out in my powerchair which is a Permobile Chairman 2S. Well I only came close to getting stuck one time, but otherwise I had no problems. Now the first powerchair I had which was an Invacare would get stuck in 1/2 inch of slush and water, real embarrassing. Here is a Shot of Maryland Plaza in St. Louis' Central West End with the Chase Park Plaza in the background.
