"Park Closed" sign found

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....to this day I cannot figure out why they do it! Senseless vandalism prepetrated by the very people who use our parks, enjoy our public beaches and frequent the sports fields provided by our tax dollars. Upon entering the park that I was going to swish the first thing one notices is a sign indicating that dogs are not allowed at anytime. Any person with average intelligence would grasp why as they walk to the beach through the doggie dew that is something that Nova Scotians unfortunately are getting accustomed to. What really annoyed thuis bouy today was the first two aquatic finds which were the cutting blade from a steak knife and a sign indicating that the park was closed from dusk to 7am. Enough ranting for now. Swished up enough to take Marie to Avery's for a chocolate chip mint ice cream which was consumed by my better half forth wit discarding the napkin in the appropriate place which seems to be a foreign if not alien concept to too many Bluenosers.

Driving away it dawned on me that maybe we should change the caption on our license plates from "Canad's Ocean Playground" to that of Ontario's "Keep it Beautiful."

We've had a "pooper scooper" law for many, many years and it's a LOT better. I can remember as a kid playing ball in the street or the parks... I don't know how many times I'd have to scrape my sneakers clean (yuck). Sometimes AFTER coming into the house, much to the delight of my mother

Most places have leash laws, but I doubt they're enforced it too much. Occasionally, I get up close and personnal with one. One time as I was digging on my knees, my headphones started making this weird rumbling sound and I couldn't figure out what it was. I turned around to find a small dog about 6" from my face bearing his teeth and growling. Scared the heck out of me. The owner smiled and said, "oh don't worry, he's friendly..." Yeah right... (don't ever scare a man with a Lesche digging tool in his hand )

As for litter, well, people are slobs all over. I have to say though that the beach I normally go to is kept really clean. Between people and machines, they do a great job on something like 7 miles of beach.

swim after dusk! Yep, it only takes a few to spoil it for all. I try and leave an area better than I found it. Glad ya got out and found enough for a treat!

I think it is more likely some young people that have nothing better in life to do right now but to ruin things.
