Note: I intend not to let this blog get political, but as is typical of the way I think, it's bound to happen from time to time. Particularly when the government's actions (or inactions) make my life and work DANGEROUS.
Most of you probably know that the law in many municipalities requires that snow be removed by the owner of the property within a certain amount of time. Of course, it's a little ridiculous that we have to have laws like this to begin with, designed to keep people in line because their sense of decency has been overcome by laziness, but anyway...
The city of Philadelphia is in the throes of Winter storm Thor, which is blanketing us with several inches of thick, wet snow. It's beautiful in most cases. But today, while walking home from work, my usual sure-footedness was interrupted by a large patch of ice that was concealed by the freshly-fallen layer of snow.
Where was this? On a city property: Mario Lanza park to be exact.
I guess the government doesn't feel it's necessary to fine itself, or to obey its own laws.
