Alexander's used to be on north Broadway, and has moved to Broadway
and Arapahoe. It's more of a carry-out place than The Terrace, but
they have a small outdoor patio, and I think the food is better than
the Terrace.

I am looking for a sunshade for side windows on a car.  The ones at
Target/K-Mart/etc typically have suction cups and don't fit very well.
I was thinking that some sort of treated plastic sheet that could be
cut to the precise size desired would be an improvement (even if the
window couldn't be opened while in use).  Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

	I too have come back and found tickets that should not have been there.
(Well OK, one that I know shouldn't have been there).  I checked the time
after I put in the money, and left.  When I came back I found a ticket on
my windshield, with the time 10 minutes before the meter should have
expired.  [It should have expired 3 minutes before I got back].  There was
no sign of the meter person, and I was in a BAD mood from having had to deal
with other arms of the university prior to that, So I dropped a quarter in
the envelope with a very nasty note pointing out that the ticket was in error,
and I would contest it if they weren't happy with the quarter (Far more than
they actually deserved).  I actually got a letter of appology, and the
quarter back a few weeks later.

	I don't think the parking nazis themselves are the least bit reasonable,
but there is someone with more sense the gravel somewhere in the hierarchy.

It's pretty clear from all the responses here, and in similar discussions I've
had, that something is really quite wrong with the conduct of the parking
management system.  Infractions are simply too common and you must agree this
is not appropriate conduct by people *we* are paying to police the streets.

Perhaps we could make a change in that if we get together and decide on some
sort of group letter?  Perhaps a group organized to rebuke the parking
system? Or just all of us sending letters?

What do y'all think?  Any ideas?

It is going to be a zoo there until at least the end of September. The
Table Mesa waterline project has just begun, so even when they get
done with Broadway, we're going to have hassles with Table Mesa to
contend with. Last Wednesday the westbound traffic on Table Mesa was
backed up all the way to Moorhead during the evening rush hour and 
eastbound back to Gillaspie. I've taken to driving through Martian 
Acres to actually *save* time, and the RTD bus schedules and NCAR

 I have seen tickets on cars with time left on the meters. . I guess the 
assumption is that if there is less than 5 minutes left you are not going 
to make it back before it expires. They are hard to dispute because how
can you produce evidence that there was time left before the ticket was 
written(in the case of the non-computerized meters). 

Another one I love is when I put half an hour on a meter come back in
25 minutes and it's already expired. I swear some of those meters are
fast so you end up putting more than enough money to ensure you've got
enough time.

I worked for Pencom for 2 years.  I have also worked for several other
contract firms.  As any company, Pencom is in business to make money.
One of the ways to make money is to have good "word of mouth" good will.
I think that Pencom has learned this principle.  I personally know
most of the recruiters at Pencom, and I find them to be friendly,
intelligent people that are doing what they do for the same reason
I choose to contract... to make a decent living.  Pencom paid me
well, paid me on time, and the checks never bounced.

When dealing with any contract firm you should:
* Find out about the company.
* Always read the contract.
* Don't sign anything you can't live with.
* Don't expect anything that isn't in the contract.
* Don't accept less money than you can live with.
* Don't anticipate a raise later.
* Assume the contract firm won't pay for dead time.
* Anticipate not working at least 4-8 weeks out of the year.
* Assume that you first contract is a learning experience.
* Don't whine if you don't do the above.

Actually, there's several on Congress. Off the top of my head, there's Sweetish

bakery
just south of the Capital that's being restored by the City of Austin. 

3 or 4 blocks south of the Capital sounds like it might be Sweetish Hill.

I only know of one person that did it, and I'd say he was lucky (especially
since he was on a motorcycle :) he was doing some speed over the posted limit
(it may have even been over the state limit, I can't remember) and got
tagged.
he went to court and showed the judge that he 1) had full catastrophic health
insurance covering him and anyone else that would have been injured in an
accident so he was not a threat to himself or others (with respect to the
state being financially responsible obviously), 2) he had insurance covering
any damage to property including his vehicle so that he was not a threat to 
property owned by the state, private citizens, or businesses, 3) the roadway
was clear of traffic (in this case) in both directions, 3) there were no
parked vehicles along the side of the roadway to present obstacles, 4) the
conditions were ideal, a clear sunny day, 5) he was not under the influences
of any prescription drugs or medical care that may have hindered his
operation
of the vehicle, 6) a couple other things I can't remember.

he won the ticket. quite a job, and you have to get lucky and get a judge with D
