Aggressive title. But it got your attention, so fuck yea.
Check out this lovely Texas native's parking job.
If you can't tell what you are looking at that is an Audi Q5 rockin Texas plates (plate GWS 9797 if you really care). They did a great job parallel parking in downtown Aspen. They got their tires straight--and left plenty of space between the trees---wait trees. Yea they parked on the sidewalk. And why not? There was space so why not park where you want. Sure there is a parking garage around the corner but that costs money. Yea you could drive into the east end and circle for a bit and find something because its off season, but that is a pain and I am from Fucking Texas so I am gonna park right fucking here and own you libs.
If you wonder why some Aspen locals are getting frustrated with some of our part time citizens this picture sums it up, they got the Aspen sticker and the Texas plates and they act like they own the place.
In a similar vein my son almost killed someone on Highline road (Snowmass) yesterday. He was driving up the road (yes 5 mph over the speed limit) and an oncoming car was flashing their lights at him. He slowed down, assuming around the curve there was a deer or a cop. Nope, it was two visitors standing in the middle of the road taking pictures. He slammed on the breaks and avoided contact, but if the other car hadn't warned him it could have been very ugly. Why do tourists think this is some kind of bizzaro lifestyles of the rich and famous Disneyland. If you wouldn't stop in the middle of the street in your hometown to take a picture don't do it here. Do you park on the sidewalk in Texas?
Now to get political---do you know what society is with no laws? It's called anarchy. Laws infringe on your personal liberty (whether to take a picture in the middle of the road, park on a sidewalk, get vaccinated, or carry a gun). As an employer or employee do you really want to have a workplace full of unvaccinated people? Do you really want no limits on firearms---just think of 7 year olds with AR-15s and handguns. Or to move to a less loaded topic how about a world with no driving rules (speed limits, stop signs all those things that infringe on your right to GO). Who wants to live in a world with no driving laws? Thought so, now shut up and go get your COVID jab.
On a slightly different topic some friends of mine made a mistake and went out to dinner with a couple from out of town. A bottle of wine, 2 apps, 3 mains and a couple of orders of veg and they walked out $800 bucks lighter. They won't be going out to dinner again any time soon.
