In Hawaii they are completely inconsiderate about handicapped parking 
and always pull in saying I'll just be a minute when we are trying to 
get Case places on time. They even do it at his school when everyone 
knows him. Case is so sweet. He says it's ok I am not that 
handicapped which is true and I say the reason we do this is not just 
for you but for others who are more involved. I don't know if I heard 
this on this list or not but someone in a wheelchair said, "Hey if 
you think I am getting too many privileges, I'll gladly trade your 
legs for this chair."
A few weeks ago I was driving some people I had just met to a beach 
and parking was scarce and the older woman in the back says just pull 
into the handicapped because I have a placard. She was completely 
able bodied. Then she says oh I don't have it with me but just pull 
in. I say no, those are for people having difficulty getting around 
(Case was not with me but I have a placard for when he is but I 
didn't tell her that) She actually had the gall to argue with me 
about this. I was so upset.
Case's father is asking, now forcing the beaches to have the number 
of designated parking spots required by law and filed a federal suit 
against one of the hotels here. There was that ruling that you can 
file without an attorney and he used that to do so.
