	That was never a problem at LKG.

	Good for you :-)  I remember being taught about Santa Claus, the
	Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, too.

	But seriously, I believe most of us here are salaried, and the point
	is that if you come to work at a set time, and it takes you 10-15
	minutes longer to get to your office than normal, unless you have
	a project deadline holding a gun to your head, I doubt those 9-5ers
	are going to stay til 5:10-5:15pm to make up the time.  And I wouldn't
	be surprised if those folks would actually end up leaving 10-15
	minutes (or however longer it took them) earlier than normal in
	order to get home (or the day care, etc) at the same time.

	Personally I'm like Brian, a flex time employee (except Brian's
	a morning person, and I'm not).  And if they didn't have flex
	time I wouldn't be working here.

> What's next, a request for a parking lot tram?

	Well since you asked, under the building multi-level parking
	garages would be nice, or just a plain old multi-level parking
	garage.

	At LKG from what I recall they would of liked to of built a
	parking garage, but Littleton being a small town feeling such
	things are eyesores, I believe turned down the idea.

	FWIW, I jotted down some license plate numbers of those parking
	in the mini-parking lot area (where Brian M. also parks while
	the ZK2 bridge is closed, whatever lot that's called) in areas
	that can cause problems.

	The first one is a blue lemanns, NH plate "ZEPSTR".  This one
	was parked beside the curb right before the 1st of the set of
	DCU parking places.

	The 2nd and 3rd ones were parked on the end of the middle set
	row of cars, which would appear to make it impossible for any
	one with a larger vehicle to be able to swing around the end.
	One of them was a blue buick, NH plate 887411.  The other
	a green montera LS V6, NH plate 293495.

    1990 Lemans registered to Belinda and William McLoughlin, the former at
    20 Hood Road, Brookline, born 6/18/65, and the latter at 162 Old Wilton
    Road, New Ipswich, born 4/5/63.  I don't see either of them in ELF.

re: .25:

I knew it was just a matter of time before someone followed through by posting
that publicly available information.

Will knowing who the cars belong to make a difference?  I think it will depend
on the person.  If they thought that they could park in those locations
anonymously but knew it was wrong then maybe it will matter that everyone knows
that they (or the person that they let borrow their car) are parking 
incorrectly.  

On the other hand if they simply parked there because they don't give a s&!#,
then, like the "I park on the grass" person, it won't matter.

    Can someone post the mechanism used to gain this "publicly available
    information".

    A third option is that they don't read this notesfile and don't know
    that they have been unmasked.

    Alternatively, go in person to the registry and ask for a license plate
    to name lookup.  In New Hampshire, you'll have to go to Concord.  In
    Massachusetts, you'll have to go to Boston (they do have an address
    where you can obtain the info by writing as well).  There may be slight
    fee per lookup.

	You can no longer do this in NH as of Jan. 1st when the new "privacy"
	law took effect (the legislation was passed into law last year).

	See notes from Eric in the NH notesfile for more info.

	I think this guy was part of the Rdb group that got sold to
	Oracle.  Oracle has since moved out from ZKO2-1 to their new
	building.
