Here's to hoping for folks going to 1A and 3A state meets tomorrow can avoid having to park in the parking garage, or that the dummies at UK facilities management come up with a better plan for getting people out of the darned parking garage faster. I was in my car at 9:15pm and it took an hour to move a grand total of five car lengths.

 

Apparently enough people walked down from the third floor to the cashier booth — where there was just one lane going out, one person taking the money — and pitched a fit. They got wise and stopped taking money finally, and it was amazing how quickly everybody got out after that. Here's a thought — take the money on the way in next time.

 

I should have been home by 10:30 at the latest. Instead, I didn't even get to the BG Parkway until 10:45pm and rolled into my driveway about 11:30. Grrr …

 

Rant over.
