And what the hell, the rules only seem to apply to those who wish to live worthwhile lives anyway --who never needed them in the first place."<br /><br />I regret to tell ya that that day has already come, but that the kids have likely already figured it out. <br /><br />Sadly, when the respect for the imbecilic laws/rules falters, the respect for ALL laws will die. <br /><br />And with the death of respect for law, so dies the Republic. <br /><br />Tragic -- it makes you want to cry.deMontjoiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668889559662199897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-14775132586554307822010-02-08T10:39:45.642-05:002010-02-08T10:39:45.642-05:00As broke as California is, someone somewhere came...As broke as California is, someone somewhere came up with the money to re-do every curb cut in the state. They're being made wider, shallower, and fitted with rain grooves, and some kind of bumpy rubber mat so that, in the off chance a blind person sans cane or guide dog is walking down the sidewalk, he will know that he is approaching an intersection. This, keep in mind, is being done in residential neighborhoods as well as along major thoroughfares and business zones. I've done just enough concrete work to know how expensive, and how hard it is. This stuff takes some seriously skilled labor. Each one of those curb cuts would run you into five figures if you wanted to pay for it yourself. But we can't run short on compassion, and someone somewhere though it would be a nice idea. <br /><br />JWMJWMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564732483476859555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-90203026575753867142010-02-08T07:23:25.977-05:002010-02-08T07:23:25.977-05:00Our children could be at the same school, Sippican...Our children could be at the same school, Sippican.<br /><br />They banned running this year.
