honk once for yes, twice for no... or vice versa

in the morning i drop the little off to school and from 8:25a-8:35a everyday the neighborhood that surrounds her school is transformed from a quiet residential area to 4 square blocks of chaos with swarms of autos and suvs all trying to jam into the same small street to drop off kids - honking, double parking, hand gestures, crossing guards stopping traffic out of sync, parking enforcement making up bogus rules about the 3 min loading zone - it's like one strong *pulse* of life and chaos co-mingled that's reminiscent of the frustration that comes with trying to exit from stack parking at either the hollywood bowl or the greek theater.
