Observation

This morning in the grocery store parking lot I saw a guy park his pick up truck in the handicapped section, way out of the dedicated lane, no handicap tag in view, back end of his truck was sticking out.  He left it parked that way and went into the store.   It brought back a memory of when my husband first showed symptoms of AD in 2016.   Dangerous!

    My mother likes to go out for a ride and lunch, it's a lot easier just to go to the drive thru get something then park in the grocery store parking lot to eat and watch people. We see a lot of folks come out and wonder around looking for their cars and this is not a huge parking lot. Years ago my mother was one of those lost people looking for her car.

    My mother (undiagnosed at that time) received a ticket for parking in a handicapped spot while making a phone call.  My first red flag, and there was NO convincing her that it was wrong.
