33. When I was growing up, back in the stone age

I don't think handicap access crossed the mind of many people at all. But now it would be unthinkable to build things any other way. Besides, I'll tell you, those sloping curbs at street corners are a boon also to the elderly who must be very careful of their footing.

There's one group of activists I highly admire in Malibu. They plaster stickers on the car of a certain A-list (A for ass) actress who counts on her celebrity to protect her vile habit of parking in handicap spaces. She gets the law called on her a lot, and her car has been towed. I'd love to see her slapped in jail for it.
