Our city playgrounds are not officially open and the Health Department head is very careful wih his wording, but in essence the yellow tape has come down, signs will go up urging precautionary measures, and the little rugrats will be able to crawl all over the equipment with impunity.

Not that they haven’t already been doing that. I saw yellow tape pulled down early in the Covid game at the two city parks I frequent.

Some animals are more equal than otherS, and I can point out the mommies whose little dears are playing on the swing set who also complain when dogs in the Park run loose.

That is a different level of threat, agreed, and dogs should not run loose in the Park. But God forbid we deny small children their tiny heartS’ desires. Yes there is a back issue with our playground equipment that chaps my hide, but suffice to say it is ALL FOR THE CHILDREN.

I think I preferred this neighborhood when it was mostly gay men and childless couples. I’m just cranky today.
