Dave can’t hide his parking ticket now

Our good friend Big Mike surprised us with a funny picture the other day: a screenshot of Google Earth’s view of the Sandbar.

What’s funny about that? Nothing, unless you happen to know that the gray SUV parked in front of the bar belongs to Daveā€”and if you look closely, you can see a gift from the City of Lawrence parking department.

Like any good downtown Lawrence employee, Dave does his part to keep the city of Lawrence running by accumulating his fair share of little yellow envelopes. Normally, he pays the $3 ticket before its due and his wife is never the wiser.

But sometimes he gets busted. Like when Google Earth captures evidence of his overtime parking.

P.S. Congrats to Big Mike, his lovely wife Anne and their little boy, who recently welcomed another bundle of joy to their family!
