Invisible Hydrant

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Welcome back!

I thought that all across our nation, it was not approved to park within 15 feet of any water hydrant.

It seems that in our neighborhood, the locals do not consider it reasonable to leave the hydrant free of parking cars, trucks, and vans. I had thought that people had learned not to park there when the American Legion building caught fire and the fire department threatened to move a car out of the way by using the fire truck.

Evidently not.

Smoking, or Not Smoking

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Many buildings these days are now marked as no smoking areas. Public buildings, private buildings. I have heard that there are even times that people want to make private homes no smoking areas. What ever happened to people having the right to choose?

I am not a smoker, but some of these laws bother me a lot. If a business wants to mark itself as a place where smokers are welcome, why can they not put up signs like that? Why do lawmakers want to define how private citizens live? Why do lawmakers feel they have to interfere in how private businesses are run? When has Big Brother ( George Orwell’s version) taken over private life? If people have the desire to pollute their own lungs, that is their choice. When the law makers interfere in private lives, they go too far.
