I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

And is subject to regional dialect:  In WI it is called a parking ramp, or just "ramp"

I even got a dumber question.  Why are you even asking this question?  If someone else here on this forum came up with this question you would be the first to heckle them and make jokes about this type of question.

Wouldn't 'garage' be enough?

"Garages" were also places where folks had their cars repaired, so I suppose there needed to be some additional emphasis.

Finally upgraded to Expressway after, what, seven or so years on this forum? Took a dadgum while, but, I made it!

dumb question: why did dumb change meaning from "not able to talk" to "lacking intelligence"?
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Locking - I can see this is going to go nowhere.  The topic is legitimate. Think about what you post before posting
