Things that make you go hmmm?

Where there are deep holes, missing sidewalk skylight pieces, tilty concrete pavers, broken covers into basements or missing steel covers to utilities in the sidewalk, do they cover them up? No, you just have to watch where you are going. It is your fault if you are stupid enough to trip over them, so watch where you are going.

Everything is surrounded with wrought iron fencing with gates. Sometimes it is in mint condition and other times it is rusting and large pieces are missing. What I witnessed was the later one day, when a man was coming home, opened his gate and latched it behind him. He could have walked a few feet in either direction of his fence and walked around the gate, so why bother to open and close it when you have many “entrances” within the fence. Maybe so it does not bang in the wind?

They really think if you just stick your trash into the adjacent bush when you are done with something, it is OK to do so. Is there some sort of new photosynthesis that I did not learn about in school where plants take in the garbage and spit out carbon dioxide instead of oxygen? That would explain global warming then. Even when you do it in front of the Garda, there is a law about not littering, but like the other laws here, they are guidelines. Hmmmm…..
