First I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to step into my world for a bit. We’re all really busy and it always excites me when I see that little “404-04” pop up on my phone. As for your response to my twitter post this morning. Here’s the back n forth:

markturrigiano Mark Turrigiano  Hey meter maid, think of all the solid choices in life you’ve made that brought you here. Writing my mom a ticket while picking up Z.

jokeylemon Jodi Lennon @  @markturrigiano was she double parked? that’s not legal.

Im not sure where you live, but in New York City we have this thing called “Alternate Side Of The Street Parking Rules”. These rules maintain that at a specified time (on my block it’s just about the time my mother was written her ticket) on a particular day (doh!!! my blocks days are ONLY Mon & Tues) you may not park your vehicle on the street for a truck to come along a sweep up our messes. Pretty interesting thing, huh? Well a funny thing happens during these times of alternate side, cars double park for the entire duration of the cleaning on the opposite side of the street!. These cars are never ticketed! Regardless of if they are blocking other cars trying to get out of their legal parking! So, yes… While it may seem like a very black & white situation from where ever you are from.. where all laws are enforced to the fullest… A place where decisions made by our government always have the people in mind…  

i digress…

The town where I grew up and still reside is no such place. Our rules often have no other reason than to take more money out of our pockets, just as the p[rice of doing business. Thank you, eager to hear more about you and your cop dad!
