No free coffee today, but…… I got free parking at the Cultural Arts Center. The crazy parking system downtown continues to get me and today was no different. I punched in all the information they need for me to park my car for a couple of hours. I kept putting all the information in and every time I tapped a credit card as was suggested, my card was declined. I tried the process with three different cards and got the same reply on each one. The other option besides credit cards was quarters. I had not planned on having to use quarters so of course I did not have $2.50 worth of quarters in my pocket. While I’m standing at the kiosk trying to figure out how I’m going to park my car so I can go to where I need to be a woman came along and asked me what my difficulty was. I explained it to her and she said oh I have a lot of quarters and she immediately counted out $2.50 worth of quarters. I said oh that would be great. I did have two $1 bills in my purse and offered them to her and thanked her for the $.50 difference, but she said, no no don’t worry about it. It’s on me. I tried to get her to take my two dollars but she would not take the money, so I had $2.50 worth of free parking outside the Cultural Arts center. Many thanks to the lovely woman who was so kind to help me out.
