I hate big parking lots.
parked in mickey lot level 7 at disneyland
forgot where it was, spent 2 hours walking from level to level looking for it. oh geez, everyone and their mother has a Chinese scooter.

I sometimes take a picture of the sign near my spot with my phone to help with that kind of problem, it has helped a few times.

Also: there's an app for that.

Paper and pen(cil). I'm old school.

For new school people, the app is called "Find My Car". It's free at googleplay.

I dunno, go read paragraphs 5 & 6 of this article and you may start to question the whole new school thing a little bit.

I didn't say the new school was better than the old school...

Good article. I do agree with it actually. There is no doubt in my mind that all sorts of motor control activities develop the brain, and the computer generation loses out on this brain development. Contrary to Mark Zuckerberg's contention, young people are not smarter.

Addishunally, there speling skils seme to go awl to hel.

The only time I had any issue was this winter, after having driven the same car for 20 years I'd gone to the grocery store and came out to see three other vehicles nearly identical to my 'new' one within the same section if the parking lot....

I carry my cat in the travel box. When I come out of the store, I can her her yawling!

good idea,
but I have rats. and a rat scream isn't very loud.
sounds sort of like a moped horn.
i.e. SQUEAK!

This post highlights the difference between jrsjr and me.

Me: Do it the way I want, then post random stuff to justify it

jrsjr: Back my randomness up with scholarly justification!

Of course I'm old enough to have learned cursive from an old lady with a ruler in her hand at all times. It just never stuck.

Which, the cursive or the ruler?

I was a quick learner (ruler-wise)!

PRO TIP: Print, it's faster.

I try to park near a pole with a number or letter or near a cart rack at the grocery. In the car that is.

On the scoot I park near the bike rack!
