My impression was that he did not want to make an issue of it. I
don't think it is enforceable myself and I only did it because I am
waiting for knee replacement and that particular day, could not force
myself to walk the whole car park area.
When I was pregnant, I generally walked anyway, or if I did take the
car I was still so damned healthy it never occurred to me I needed to
park nearer the store. As for parents with kids, best teach your kids
to be more manageable rather than expecting to park right at the door.
Does the little bleeder good to walk in the fresh air :)

I think it's common around here in "private" lots - as in a shopping center,
the grocery store. There are signs for mothers with babies, or pregnant
women. Seems a courtesy, which is somewhat enforceable - they could
certainly put a sticker/notice on your car. But, I don't think it's
ticketable. Who knows.

Well, the "to do list" has gotten longer. Before I move the sand cherry, I
have to have two pines cut down as the blister beetle struck again. Actually
about 6 trees will come down all told. Some I'll have the stumps ground out,
others won't. The new shape of the bed can get roughed out before the
arborist and crew do their work.
I need to "get rid of" some daylilies and my buddy John from hockey is going
to trade me mulch for them. That means loads and loads of landscape fabric
first.
