day 348

This oughta do it. The notorious speed bump outside my house, seems to be hated by everyone except those of us who have kids who live on this street. I don't think its too much to ask for people to stop at the stop sign on the corner, and to respect the speed limit - but it was - so we thought a speed bump might remind them. And they spin their tires on it and fly right over it, and go around it, and go through the ditch - and PEE on it in broad daylight (that was nice) and knock down the fences on either side to prevent people from going around it and through the ditch - there's really no way to win.

I'm sure someone will figure out how to vandalize the cement planters and boulders at the side, and lots of people will continue to fly over it at breakneck speed. Whatever. My kids live here. I'm sorry if it inconveniences you to obey the law, and sorry if you don't like these things we've installed to help you out with that. We've even painted them orange and put reflectors on for your safety. Because we care and don't want you hurting yourselves.
