A brand-spanking-new sign has been erected by the powers-that-be atop the hill by my house, the Donaldson Park slope otherwise known as the "sled hill"-- but I guess you can't call it the "sled hill" if there's "No Sleigh Riding" . . . although if you're going to be literal, then a "sleigh" is a sled drawn by horses or reindeer and if that's the case, then I completely agree with the sign: there should be no sleigh riding on the sled hill, especially if young children are sledding, as they might get stomped, kicked, or trampled by the ungulates pulling the sleighs . . . but mainly I believe this new rule is unfeasible, impracticable, and unenforceable and some teenagers are going to yank that sign out of the ground and toss it in to the nearby woods very soon-- and honestly, if the winters continue in the manner of the last few years, kids might not even have enough snow to disobey the sign (but let's hope they do, as I want to see how it all goes down).
