It is raining outside. It has been raining heavily all day.
A street cleaner just went by... TWICE.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but... it is 10:00 pm, nowhere near the 9:00-to-10:00 am time slot where they are supposed to clean my street 4 days a week, forcing all car owning residents to not park on alternating sides of street. Failure to do so results in a $42 parking ticket. The fines alone must finance the street cleaners. Clever system, that.
Meanwhile, we have the worst roads of any major city in the developed world. [not quite a] fact.
