周末进城，停车于唐人街外，meter expired，吃了一张罚款。没说的，自认倒霉。今天准备寄支票了，仔细一看，居然是2张罚单，一张停车票$72，一张山坡停车前轮是直的票，$57。我明明记得那里是平地，因为那天正好之前在很陡的坡道上停过2次车，陡坡道上平行趴车那个艰难，记忆犹新，自然记得将方向盘打向curb。这地方绝对没有坡度，因为平行趴车容易多了。就因为旧金山坡道多，也不能平地说成山地，欺负俺们乡下人还是咋地？心中颇是不服，于是到网上去查那段地的坡度，哈，俺停车在220 Columbus Ave. 网上的坡度计算器说： 0% grade between 210 columbus ave, san francisco and 230 columbus ave, san francisco
210 columbus ave, san francisco is 72 feet above sea-level (37.7973304,-122.4056755)
230 columbus ave, san francisco is 72 feet above sea-level (37.7973648,-122.4059575)
These locations are 0.01 mi apart (82 feet), and the elevation change is 0 feet
大家说我是不是应该拿这个去据理力争？
哦，忘了说了，那城里不是这城里哈。：）
后记：大部分人说我应该据理力争，咱闲着也是闲着，那就争吧。看看争的成本是什么：
30 min search on internet, print out result
15 min write a protest letter
$2.35 certified mail to citation review
Probably not worth my hourly rate. But feels better afterwards is priceless. ：）

If the amount of time you need to spend is worth less than $57, then of course, go for it.
