STRANGE ZOO PARKING ATTENDANT MAKES OFF WITH MILLIONS!

From The London Times:

A Well-Planned Retirement

Outside England 's Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were £1 for cars ($1..40), £5 for busses (about $7).

Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he just didn't show up; so the Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent.

The Council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the Zoo's own responsibility.

The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee.

The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payroll.

Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain (or some such scenario), is a man who'd apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own; and then had simply begun to show up every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about $560 per day -- for 25 years.

Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over $7 million dollars!

And no one even knows his name!

New Home: The Trials and Tribulations - Paint Colors

Wow....who knew there were so many variations of color in the world. At this point I almost wish I was color blind. We are having to pick paint for each room and it is exhausting, no wonder people just leave everything white! So far we have a couple colors decided on.....

This is what we have planned for the master bedroom - Royal Gray



This is Manila Tint which we are using in the guest bedroom and the guest bathroom





This is Christopher Robins Swing which we are using for the baby's room



Finally, this is Devonshire which we are still considering for the living room, kitchen, and office



Tell me your thoughts.....we obviously need all the help we can get!

Updates!

Well.....summer is coming to an end and in no time (3 days) I will be back at work. :( Overall, this summer was pretty uneventful, except for a PREGNANCY and NEW HOUSE!!!! As of today I am 10 weeks pregnant and constantly feel like dog poop! I am hoping the morning sickness begins to wind down, but I won't hold my breath! The little bean is due March 18 and Nate and I are ecstatic! This is not much of a first photo, but we got to see the heartbeat!



As for our new home, we have yet to close escrow and we are still waiting to make it through underwriting unscathed! It is a 4 bd/ 3 bath townhome in Brea. We wanted to find something close to either set of grandparents and we couldn't exactly afford the beach. Anyways, we are really excited and I will try and post pictures soon.

I wish my dogs could do this!

Refill?

In case your planning a baby shower soon....
