Get Off My Parking Lot!
R. Alex Whitlock
I used to wonder why older folks objected so much to skateboarding. I was never into it myself, but it seemed that it was better that they be out of the house with at least some physical exertion rather than sitting around watching television.
There have been an inordinate number of kids that have moved in to Thrifthaven over the past week or so. A lot of them like to skateboard.
Since they started I've been spending twice the amount of time indoors avoiding the danged noise.
I have officially changed my position. Now I know exactly what's wrong with skateboarding.
Grumble, grumble.
Observations
Dude, you're getting old!
I've noticed... :)
A neighbor pointed out why it might be so annoying. The accoustics of the 3-side enclosed parking lot create an amplifying effect.
At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I enjoy watching the little buggers eat pavement myself.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
