I hate Ann Arbor...

I hate Ann Arbor. Pretty soon, everyone in the town will be required to have a Blue parking permit because there will be no pay parking in town. The structure I wanted to park in has become Permit Only so I had to park waaay across town in the oddest structure ever.

Rather than the take-a-ticket system most Ann Arbor structures have, this structure had a pay-in-advance thing. It was a $2 flat rate for the whole day (which *was* a better bargain than $1.05 an hour for the three hours or so I was at Cheryl's graduation party - but still) and you had to pay in a machine. Unfortunately, the smallest I had was a $10 bill. So I put it in the machine and what did it give me in change? SEVEN SACAGAEWEA DOLLARS AND A SUSAN B. ANTHONY. I probably spelled Sacagaewea wrong. So anyway, I've been trying to get rid of them all day.

I bought Becky and myself some candy and got rid of two of them. I used five of them to pay for parking at the hockey game tonight (and boy was the attendant happy to see them! Especially since they probably looked like quarters in the dark). Then we went to Cosi with Bob'n'Robin and their friends and I payed Robin back for my s'mores with the last one.

I don't like having dollar coins - they're a pain to carry around and they make me want to spend spend spend to get rid of them. That's what they should do to get us out of this recession - mint more golden dollars.

By the way, I don't really hate Ann Arbor. Garrison Keillor was there tonight and he had a lot of fun and very true things to say about the town... something about people wearing expensive hippie-looking clothing and talking like socialists while eating in a nice restaurant? I'll have to write down the exact quote when it comes online. Boyfriend went to high school with one of the musical guests.
