Hillbilly Parking

Some of us hill folk have to be taught how to act in the city!  It's a rainy day today (again! for the 5th or so time this week!), perfect for running errands.  I took mom into the city to a few architectural salvage stores.  There was a world cup soccer event taking up most of the parking places, which doesn't bother this creative, country person!  Note my big black truck parked cattywumpus to all the other cars, which are lined up so primly and properly parallel to the curb.  (Big props if you knew what "cattywumpus" means before you looked it up just now!)

    I'm jealous that you have access to not just one, but a few architectural salvage stores!

    Cattywumpus is everything stirred up and crissy crossy! How did I do?

    I had assumed that cattywumpus was a variant of kittycorner - or something similar?

    Judy's version is how I learned cattywumpus, but on looking it up, it appears Alison is right, too!

    I looked up cattywumpus in the dictionary and it says "askew".

    sometimes I wonder what measurement they use to mark lines for parking/lots etc. Half our church congregation drives 4WD vehicles, but seems the lines are more for the compact car section. I park in the back and take up whatever I need!!
