it was a general free day in NYC too..
alternate side of the street parking was suspended for religious holiday.

(now if only the Hindu's and the Jains, and any number of other members of various religions would just get it together, and demand, (as christians and jews have done and muslims are beginning to), that their holiday should be a cause for suspension of alternate side of the street parking, the world (or at least my corner of it) would be a better place.

I LOVE organized religion.. there are about 20 days each year that have suspended alternate side of the street parking..

Now if we could just have time off (from being required to move our cars) to praise the cow, or fire, or any other diety....

my other obsession
