Sign of the Times

Signs, signs everywhere signs….

It seems that no matter what, if one thing happens, a “new” rule is made.

I live in a community where the HOA is a bit crazy. One day we were told that retractable dog leashes are now banned.

My dog has been walked on a retractable leash his entire life and never had a problem.

But, it seems that one dog being walked on a retractable leash lunged at someone and all the sudden the HOA has a rule that all retractable leashes are banned.

The over reaction of people now is getting to the point of insane.

When I saw that the Tony Awards were informing ticket buyers that they are now enforcing a “strict no violence policy”, in the wake of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, I rolled my eyes.

First off, in the past did the Tony’s allow violence at their awards show?

I never watched it, but if people were losing an award category and then get up and start swinging, they might have been worth watching.

Hasn’t the “no violence policy” always been in place? Or, did people punch other people and were then just told to go back to their seat and sit down?

This is almost like telling Tony attendees that they must remember to breathe during. It kind of goes without saying.

I have never watched the Tonys and I am not going to start now.

Instead, I will be taking my dog for a walk on his retractable leash.
