on a completely trivial note

[rmd]

Yesterday, I achieved one of my lifetime peak Boston-driving experiences: I found a parking spot on Tyler St in Chinatown on my first pass.

I went to dinner at Peach Farm, and I wanted to cruise by to make sure it was where I thought it was before going far afield to park the car and make my way back. But there I was, about to turn left onto Tyler St, and a car pulled out of a perfectly-Mini-sized spot.

I feel like I beat one of the two final bosses of Boston parking. The other, of course, is the North End.

Reminds me of the time I was randomly driving through Harvard^2 in the middle of the day and saw a parking space. I had to park in it, just to savor the moment, even though none of my business that day took me anywhere near there.

When I luck into an especially good parking spot, I walk home rather than give it up.

So THAT's why nobody can ever find a parking spot! :-)

Many years ago someone on b0st0n shared his Uncle Louie's Secret to Finding Parking in Boston: try.

Congratulations on penetrating one of the mysteries of the Hub!

As I have been known to say to Kit when we score on a good parking space, "We are right with God."

How was Peach Farm, btw? I've never been.

Did you immediately buy a chicken to sacrifice to the Parking God?

Nice!

(In my experience the North End is harder than Chinatown, though much depends on the time of day/week.)
