Park your ass in a gym for a change.

After having been away for a while due to health reasons, I've returned to blogging. I can't believe the weird stuff that's been going on since I last posted.
Now the city and county are talking about spending big bucks on a parking structure. Do we have a parking problem downtown? I don't think so. But city and county employees don't want to walk two or three blocks to work. Can you imagine what would happen if these folks were transplanted to a new, big city? They'd probably have to walk blocks from a subway station to get to their offices. Can you imagine how they'd feel if they had to commute an hour or more to their jobs outside the county? Like about half of Monroe County workers already do? If anyone has trouble walking from St. Mary's parking lot to city hall or the county courthouse, they need to park themselves in a butt slimmer machine at their local gym. It wouldn't kill them. In fact, it probably would make them healthier. Kill the parking structure plan instead.
