I saw something strange this morning that deserves a short commentary.

Walking out of a United Supermarket in southwest Amarillo, my eye was drawn to a flashy Harley-Davidson motorcycle. But it was parked in a space reserved for “handicapped” shoppers.

The gentleman walking from the hog to the front door of the store was walking slowly. But I couldn’t tell precisely if he was physically impaired. Yes, I get that not every motorist who parks in one of those reserved spots has an ailment that’s visible to the casual observer.

Still, it did seem odd to me that someone who is fit enough to handle a motorcycle – which I presume requires a good bit of physical dexterity – would park in a spot reserved for others who require some level of assistance.

Yes, the vehicle in question did have a handicapped license plate.

Just wondering …
