List Item 8.2: Feed your head, not the meter


List 8...beckoning me to Pay it Forward...do the right thing...relinquish the rebel yell within my chest and give in to society's demands; for item #2 i conceded to:
Feed a meter in a small town where tickets are uncommon; thus, upon traveling downtown Uniontown today, I decided to pay a quarter for thirty minutes of parking despite my intuition (which I habitually honor due to a lifetime of reinforcing experiences)....well, wouldn't you know, after two clicks, the meter jammed, thrusting the yellow flag of 'i told you so' into the cold Pennsylvania wind, much like Punksatony Phil did with his shadow the very same day to all the shivering PETA champions...


Well, Lovely Rita, I gave it my best...it wasn't for lack of intention, but maybe for lack of proper quarter weight as the national trust keeps devaluing our currency a pace far faster than a poor community can keep up with...or maybe it was just a reflection of karma, a way for the cosmos to concur with the weaseling attempts of the little guy to get one over on a larger societal structure...or maybe it means nothing at all...
