Friday Funnies

Some drivers, myself included, can find parallel parking a bit of a challenge at times.
Especially, when there's a car in front or back of the open space

But, this driver certainly didn't have any concerns and seemingly just drove in and left.
As seen in the photo, there was one vehicle parked behind this car, but no car was parked in front. Backing up and straightening out would have been easy or so it seemed..

At times, folks have asked Where do you find these things? 
The answer is simple, everywhere.

The above photos were taken last weekend on a walk to the library. You just can't make this stuff up, folks. It's much easier just to look around.
Sunset on Monday evening this week as seen from our apartment
Along with so many other states, it's been a hot beginning of the week in New England as well. Temperatures in Nashua, NH, were close to 100℉ this past Tuesday. By yesterday (Thursday) a cold front came in and temperatures dropped to the more tolerable mid-80s.

While there's been a heat wave this week, it's wasn't the hottest recorded temperature ever recorded in Nashua. According to the National Weather Service, the record 106°F (41°C) was set on July 4, 1911, the highest temperature ever recorded in the state. And, 2024, was the warmest year worldwide since record keeping began in 1850.

Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone
Heat wave over, but a(nother) rainy one is  forecast for Nashua, NH

I never mastered parallel parking way back in the '60's my father took me to get my very first driver's license I didn't pass because of the parallel parking. My father says no worries we will go to another city-back then no computers. I got my drivers license-can't remember now but I think that one did not test for parallel parking.
so to this day at 75 years old I have never mastered that haha I always avoided those situations
Today the weather people say we have a chance for rain-we'll see haha
happy weekend

That is lovely picture of sunset.

I avoid // parking. It is only necessary on Main St, and there are always cars behind.

Maybe there was another car in front when that one was parked. I hate parallel parking and avoid it at all costs. So much effort to get proficient at a maneuver in order to pass the test that could have been better spent navigating actual traffic.

Ho ho ho! I mastered parallel parking, and now can do it on both sides (when I learned that I'm not sure.) I love driving, so when I arrive I am so grateful for a spot close to where I'm going. Not to cast any aspersions to those who don't like to parallel park...I drove a big camper van for 12 years, and part of that was becoming comfortable knowing where each of it's 4 corners were...and how to maneuver to get them to not hit another car/building. The back two were virtually invisible from the driver's seat. But don't ask me to drive anyone else's vehicle where I don't know those limitations! My hat's' off to semi-truckers who can back their rigs into tight loading docks.

I used to have no problem with parallel parking but would not consider attempting it now.The sky shot is striking.

Your sunset is absolutely gorgeous! It seems that the most beautiful sunsets come after the worst weather. I wonder if this parked car would be eligible for a ticket? My thoughts...in a big hurry, drunk, can't park, take your pick.
