Swim, Fish and Skate

Sunday's walk was 10 miles.  My dogs and I walked past a newly developed area.   I believe in the civilized world they call them multifamily dwellings.   Anyway, they look nice and I hope they are affordable.   They are just too close to the woods.   As I walked past this new development, I noticed that they built two ponds.

I like the idea of two extra ponds close to the woods...then as I got closer I noticed the sign.   NO SWIMMING, FISHING, OR SKATING.    What in the world is a pond for?   (I know a construction guy knows about this stuff and his opinion is the next post.)   I'm writing to my legislator!

Dear Legislator:

There needs to be a law.   I like less laws not more, but this is an exception.   It goes something like this:

All ponds that exist or ever will exist must be posted with the following sign:

PLEASE SWIM, FISH, AND SKATE.

Oh, and also, I'd like my dogs to be able to get a drink as we walk by.

Sincerely,

Walking Wild


(Post Script:

On the day that I'm feeling 'all that' for walking 10 miles, my oldest swam 1.2 miles, biked 52 miles and ran 13.1.   He's pretty cool.)
