This Lady Knits

DH and I took a trip up to Friday Harbor this last weekend and while waiting for the ferry to get off the island there was this:

See the crosswalk?  Well that’s at the back of the queue to load the ferry boat.  See the cop?  he’s standing in the middle of the street directing traffic.  See the spectators…they’re all wondering why is this guy parked in the middle of the street.  yes you read that right.  This individual saw fit to park in the middle of the street.  When he returned he was lucky to find his truck still there, the tow truck had been called but hadn’t showed up yet.  The cop was nice and didn’t ticket the man.  But when asked by the cop why he parked in the middle of the street, his response, “Because all the lines were full and there was space”  The cop just shook his head and said under his breath, but loud enough for all to hear “and we haven’t even hit the busy season yet”
