The “chance of snow” in yesterday’s forecast turned out to be no chance, so a fair amount of Jersey snow panic might have been averted.
But meanwhile… Isn’t The Government supposed to remove any and all element of risk from our lives? And surely they could start by banning sledding! In fact, they already have banned it, here and there.
The only thing they don’t want to ban is aberrant sexual practices–wouldn’t want to put the teachers’ unions out of work.
You can protect yourself from sledding injuries by not going sledding.
But how do you protect yourself from government?
How much better my life would have been had I never gone sledding as a child. 🙂 What ridiculousness! Sledding can injure a person, but there’s this thing called caution that can keep us much safer.
