Thistles may not grow in one’s yard.

They define tramp as a person who roves for begging purposes and a vagrant as an idle person who is able-bodied living without labor. It’s a $50 fine. I guess the tramp would have to beg for the money to pay the fine. -Park Rule 6

Suprisingly, the customers in front of me didn’t seem too upset by the delay.

Some even chuckled sympathetically. It wasn’t until I got near the front of the line that I saw the neatly hand-lettered sign in front of the register: WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING BATTLE WITH OUR NEW COMPUTER FOR CONTROL OF THE STORE—WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE.
