COUNTING THE MINUTES!
This is a big day in automotive
history although a sad one as well.
However you chooss to look at it
the man to credit or blame for the
anniversary is Carl Magee. Carl
was at attorney, a newspaper
owner/reporter, and an inventor.
And on this very day in 1935 Carl's
newest invention hit the streets of
Oklahoma City. It was the parking
meter! For just a nickle you could get
an hour of paking! Most meters don't
take nickles these days. Some don't
even take quarters! The newest versions
and connected to computer systems which
keep track of your parking. Stay too long
and you'll still find yourself getting a ticket
and having to pay a fine! Thanks Carl!!!!
Hope your meter is full, you're feeling
well, and that all your NEWS is good!
