The bottle of conditioner was brand new and full 12 oz. Pretty thick conditioner too, I can hardly get it out of the bottle when I want to use it. I'm betting the distance it dropped is what made it lethal. Doc said the marks I can't see on my toe and up where the top probably hit are abrasions! I did my walk with city staff using a cane today. My balance had been wonky all morning. They probably wondered what bottle I was tipping before arriving.  Work has already started last week, Friday. Every can in the park has been replaced! These cans Raymond told me they build in their shop. The design is to make it harder for the gangs or taggers, whichever name you wish to use, to get their names on them like in the past. They would have to turn the spray can sideways and spray smaller. That would probably come out blobs.
These went in and just since Frank saw them yesterday one of them already has gold tag you can't read.  The men were as nice as could be and everyone I met there was as well. They had crews in cleaning up. We did talk about the lake and it is too dangerous for them to go in to clean up with the water still in it. We spotted a dead cat in a bad place to get to so I feel sorry for whoever has to go round that up. It wasn't there yesterday either. I learned the reason the water fountain is no longer in there. Someone drove their vehicle in knocking it over and no one reported it as water ran down the path causing some real erosion issues. Aside from wasting water. I teased them about making the lake a permanent fixture by hooking up to a fire hydrant somewhere. I was right when I told folks it is only filled with rain. Something we didn't get last night and so far none today either. This is the material being used to fill in eroded spots and on path as well. Once combined with water it hardens. Yes he told me what it was called, yes I've forgotten. 
As Raymond and I were leaving a water truck was waiting to pull in. Raymond was parked where he needed to drive to get in. I was suprised to read the big sign on the trailer hauling the water tank said donated by Susan Reed our District Attorney. I was invited to come back Saturday when they have more crews coming in to work and take pictures. Of course that is if it doesn't rain. And guess who forgot to ask what time. When I first arrived I thought I had missed the person I was to meet and I couldn't get the guy's attention walking up the hill. Talking to some of the nice folks cleaning I thought they mentioned the name of a guy from the City Manager's office being there yesterday. I do believe from the name, if I recall correctly, that would of been the guy that was less than pleasant with my husband on the phone last Friday. Nothing to do about the Park, but to do about rig parking. Our Councilwoman is on her last term, but apparently she cares what constituents think. She has a great staff too. I sure hate to see her go. By the time I got home my foot hurt some so I took the splint off and sat in the recliner a little bit. |
