Once again this state in which I make my home is trying to raise money by over regulating. Two years ago our state legislature doubled, in some cases even tripled, traffic violation fines for Virginia residents only. Ultimately it was found to be unconstitutional by the state supreme court. This is more of the same.
When is a Christmas tree not a Christmas tree? When it is a giant cone covered in what appears to be green doormats. Shoppers stared in bemusement at the mysterious object that landed in a shopping precinct in Poole, Dorset, this week. Some compared it to a giant traffic cone, a witch’s hat or a cheap special effect from an early episode of Doctor Who. The 33ft structure turned out to be their Christmas tree, designed according to the principles of health and safety, circa 2009.
Another tidbit from overlawyered.com. if you get the impression I don't feel like writing you are absolutely correct.
Thus it has no trunk so it won’t blow over, no branches to break off and land on someone’s head, no pine needles to poke a passer-by in the eye, no decorations for drunken teenagers to steal and no angel, presumably because it would need a dangerously long ladder to place it at the top.- London Times

i saw the yoga bit on "overlawyered." i have an interest in this, being a yoga teacher myself. nevada doesn't regulate traffic, much less anything else. it will be years before this becomes an issue here-i hope!
ReplyDeleteand everything i've tried to write lately has been dreck. best to keep my mouth shut and my fingers quiet.
That xmas tree reminds me of one of those bras Madonna used to wear.
ReplyDeleteQuite perky isn't it.
ReplyDeleteIf one sat in the first row at the concert, Madonna may have poked one's eye out.
