Sitting in the office, which is between Cincott and Dr. Rumple's we get an endless stream of traffic. I can't tell you how many of these cars, trucks and SUV's just let their vehicles idle while they go in to grab their lunch or get their treatment. If it was a minute or two, it wouldn't be as bad, but I am talking about 10 or 15 minutes at a time.

I don't get it. How can people just let their cars sit there for all that time with a clear conscience? So your car gets cold again when you turn it off. Big frickin deal.

You should run outside and move them around the block.

You could ask the City to install one of their Idle-Free Zone signs along that block. But then I've seen cars left idling right under one of those signs. They're about as effective as the Drug-Free Zone signs, which I've always found a little strange. Does that mean that areas without a sign are Drug-OK Zones?

sit in the car, smoke a joint with the windows up, and THEN leave it on the other side of the block....

Or just go outside and turn them off!
