Two leggers aren't the only trail blazers. Not sure if these were rats or squirrels (tree rats,) but after this tree was cut down and I walked over to it, I noticed this path leading from the rotten hollow tree to the trash can. These are all over the park too. Been meaning to take a picture for a while.

LOL seconded. I knew there was a joke in there but I didn't think of anything that clever!

Infikey must be feeling really down.

I've seen little paths like that made by ants. Cleared pathways stretching scores of metres from big-arse nests.

I was expecting "I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes in this motherfucking park" but Snakes on a Plain is so darn perfect in its simplicity.

Oh, and Miller Lite.

I'm at work today, I promise to be grumpier.

Are they digging it up to pave it, or agitating it to resod it?

looks like replanting. They did that aeration machine thing all over the whole patch of grass so there are little plugs of dirt laying around.

You should pull a Shawshank Redemption and every day dribble a little salt or copper sulphate out the bottom of your pant leg as you walk down the path.

It's out of my hands now. They put down nice top soil or peat moss or something with grass seed mixed in. And people are walking right through it. You would think they would at least rope the area off.
