It’s the weather of the past, considered and judged today!
I was off all last week, so I’ll be reviewing about 9 days of weather here.
High: 36°
Low: I wanna say, like, -20°?
Review: ½â˜†â˜†â˜†. The debut of the half-star rating! Great work, Denver weather, you were super unpleasant last week, and now there’s days-old, dirty snow everywhere!
Just lost a Hoth breakdancing contest. Which is to say I just fell on the ice.

A long time ago, when I was considerably more annoying, some friends and I played a game called “You can’t park there.”
Here’s how it worked: I lived on University Hill in Boulder, above a burrito shop and down the street from the Fox Theatre. Sometimes, when people would park on the street below our apartment to go to a show that we judged to be a bad show at the Fox, we would shout, once or twice, “You can’t park there!”
It was ridiculous. For one thing, there was a parking meter. They could very clearly park there, if they paid, or if it was after the meter’s hours.
But we learned that if you shouted it in a Boston accent, it had a high rate of success. Go figure.
I guess I’m thinking about that because this morning, my wife and I went to dispute a parking ticket that we got for an expired plate (oops) while out of town — the dispute was because we got two during that week. It didn’t take. But we did learn something new, while arguing that we couldn’t have done anything about it because we were out of town and the car hadn’t, in any case, been used the whole time.
I just learned that it’s illegal for any car to be parked in the same Denver spot for more than 72 consecutive hours.

And …
Sec. 54-465. – Parking in excess of seventy-two hours.
It shall be unlawful for any owner or operator of a vehicle to leave that vehicle parked in the same place on a public street continuously for a period in excess of seventy-two (72) hours. A vehicle shall be considered in violation of this subsection if it has not been moved at least one hundred (100) feet during the seventy-two-hour period of time
Maybe that’s common knowledge? I sure didn’t know. I’ve reached out to Parking Operations to ask if that gets enforced and will update with what I learn!
