I suspect this sign is a result of some incident, and the city didn't want to be sued for medical expenses.USelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551995221350532168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345176050895872295.post-65653962709992023512008-04-23T22:34:00.000-07:002008-04-23T22:34:00.000-07:00Yeah, the truth is, I didn't go out there to bust ...Yeah, the truth is, I didn't go out there to bust anyone, and I didn't even notice the "missing pieces" until I looked at the photo on my computer, and was amazed how much he looked like the illustration. I recently read about a new movement called "free-range kids" that wants to restore the less supervised world most of us older folk had - and survived! My grandfather started teaching me to drive in an old jeep on a wood road - no seatbelts and no rollbars - back in the sixties and seventies. And when I skateboarded in LA in the sixties, we didn't wear helmets or any protective gear. On the other hand, we stayed on level concrete. There must be a sensible balance.USelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551995221350532168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345176050895872295.post-73385582924640034122008-04-23T22:32:00.000-07:002008-04-23T22:32:00.000-07:00limits of safety would be defined by teens individ...limits of safety would be defined by teens individually i suppose.magiceyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848851692951192508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345176050895872295.post-67445041435460093142008-04-23T22:12:00.000-07:002008-04-23T22:12:00.000-07:00Helmet is pretty good coverage.

I know that safest is with everything else but, well, some of my favorite memories are riding in the back of a pickup sitting on the side with the wind blowing my hair. Safe? I don't think so but incredibly exhilarating. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I think that kids are attracted to video games because they aren't allowed to experience any real danger themselves.Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724133309876710731noreply@blogger.com
