We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Doug <jagmad(a)riseup.net> saying
something like:

before you leave.

The rules changed a few months ago. Now you can get a parking ticket
for parking on a white line with "T" bars at th end of it.

See here for example:
