Underground Parking...at last!

My new parking place

Whoo Hoo!  I have a spot in the parking garage!  I am sooo happy to have parking out of the weather at long last.  I've been on the waiting list since I signed the lease in December.  The weather is improving, so snow is no longer a worry, but I'm still happy to have inside parking.  It's very secure (key access from outside, and key required in the elevator), and warm and dry.  I'm not expecting to move, so it will be real nice next winter.  The parking garage is in the basement of my building, so I can get there without going outside.  There's even enough room to store my bike down there when I get it moved to Marinette.  I'm a happy camper.

The weather today (Sunday) was beautiful.  Since Daylight Savings started last night, the afternoon lasted a little longer, too.  It was sunny and got up to around 50 today.  Really nice.  I didn't go for a drive, but took a walk around downtown, and passed a very pleasant hour in the bookstore.

I spent most of the day puttering around the apartment, and reading the big-city papers.  I usually pick up a Chicago Tribune and Detroit Free Press every Sunday.  It's good to get hold of a real newspaper.  I pick up the Eagle-Herald (the local paper) most days of the week.  It's not published on Sundays.  Yesterday's paper had an interesting tidbit in the Police Blotter.  Apparently, I missed some excitement.  On a date not specified, there was a loud party in an apartment just down the hall.  Citations for noise, underage drinking and interfering with a police officer.  That apartment will be for rent very soon.  The management has zero tolerance - a citation from the cops is usually followed by an eviction notice.
