The other day The Kone and I went to the Silverton Reservoir for the first time, and much hilarity ensued. Kone went leaping into the lake after a duck, then didn’t know what to do. I stood at the ready to jump in and rescue him, good momma that I am, but luckily he made it the foot to shore. Whew. Then we went along this precarious path along the lake and BOTH almost fell in – until we realized that oh, there must be another normal path somewhere, because this is nuts. Yes there was. Duh.
Anyway. All this fun was a mere $2 for parking, though I
discovered that one could buy an annual pass at City Hall. Now, much as I like
to be a scofflaw – and these fees are basically on the honor system – I
certainly don’t mind paying for park usage and such since I figure the money is
going for a good cause, especially when the fees are so miniscule. So off I go
to City Hall, with utility bills in hand to make sure I can get the “resident”
cost for the parking pass. I fret. Will 2 utility bills be enough? Should I
bring something from the title company?
Umm, yeah. The clerk didn’t ask, didn’t care. I must look
trustworthy? Then I asked her if they had gotten my paperwork to do an
automatic deduction for the water bill. Oh yeah – there was the paperwork
sitting on her desk.
I skip back to my car, parked right in front, for FREE! No
meter, I get free 10 minute parking there.
I’m not quite sure this town really exists, or if I’m in
some kind of Truman-esque reality show. Really.
