Ah, yes, sledding. I remember that.
When I was in high school in the 60's, a local golf course with some awesome hills would allow kids to go sleigh riding down them for free. Heck, there was nobody there. Why should they care?
Well, that last question was answered in the early seventies.
Us kids were smart enough to avoid trouble and, even when our cojones got the best of us, our folks would bandage up our wounds and life would go on as before, only some were a bit wiser than before.
We readabout some parents suig the golf course because their wunderkind did a header into some trees. We ALL knew where the trees were and avoided them. It wasn't difficult. You just avoided this one hill. It doidn'ttake much thought to know that, just a little common sense and a touch of survival instinct.
...but not this genius. From what the newspapers said, he laid down on the sled, heat first, and took off rignbt into the thicket of trees even after the other kids (and there were many) told him not to.
Yep. You guessed it, Broken collarbone and arm. He's damg lucky he didn't bash his skull in. The kids parents got a pretty penny from that golf course's management and nobody was ever allowed in ther to sleigh rids again.
Dumb people and lawyers will be the death of this country.
BTW, we dodged a bullet here. We were suppposed to gat lots of snow and I only got a dusting. A compartiot in southern jersey only got a few inches. He can stillwear his sandals outside. No major storm as was predicted all last week.
