Off topic... Thank-you for the fun card. Near where I live, there's a business called Hoppy Copy. They share their parking lot with a number of other businesses, including a place where I can buy eggs from chickens who enjoy more freedom than is common in poultry farming. Anyway, Hoppy Copy has some parking spots reserved for their customers. They mark these spots with blue rabbits. I've always parked in the Hoppy Copy spots because I can drive straight out. I've seen the blue rabbits and always thought they were paint spilled when the lines delineating the parking spots were created. One day, after a year or so of parking where I shouldn't, thinking about how much a paint spill resembled a rabbit, and noticing that all spots had a similar spill, I made the connection. I don't infringe on their parking, now that I know better. The rabbit image on their page hoppycopy.com is similar to what's painted in their parking spaces. We have a liquor store near here. Every second parking space has the words "Don't drink and drive" painted between the marking lines. I guess if you're planning on drinking and driving, you'd park in the unmarked spots. Cheers, PW. P.S. I've reduced my activity on this thread. Because computer technology has leaped beyond me in so many ways, those occasions I have something to contribute are now spaced more widely.
