This makes sense – regulation required for good business and safety.
And it reminds me of what I remember of a sad happening to Kirstie McColl folk singer swinging with children in reserved area but hit by fast moving launch and just having time to push children out of way but suffered the damage herself. In Mexico I think.
MacColl saw the boat coming before her sons did. Louis, age 13 at the time, was not in its path, but Jamie, age 15, was. She was able to push him out of the way (he sustained minor head and rib injuries), but she was struck by the powerboat, which ran over her.

Ah ha. Perhaps we are the new Mexico, to be tied into the Great Poobah and have our minds and society riddled with hegemony and drugs. No decent government, shit happens, but it’s sunny there and the peeps speak a sort of English.
Of course ‘swimming’, she was, sorry/ My fingers ran away from my mind.

Not everybody gets their stuff published, taken note of. Were the images so busy looking the other way that it wasn’t a fair example of the activity? Perhaps we should look at this complaint.
Facing no questions is as unwise as an open gateway. But there are nasty reactions – violence on both sides – men tend to institute more, but women are to be feared also. Women and trans and rainbows can’t just do anything they like, I don’t think some of their ideas are at all helpful to humanity as a group and not for themselves either. Why should they get a free ride?
RIP Anne Perry remarkable woman kiled someone as many supposedly good people have done, and author specialising in the dark side of the Victorian era and its amorals. And good imagining the close bond between husband and wife when there is love, friendship and commitment. Nice.
And Possum Bourne nice rally driver died in his 40s – his birthday was 13th April.

Why ghost guns are America’s fastest-growing gun problem
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65170507
…Manuel Yambo had never heard of a “ghost” gun until his 16-year-old daughter was killed by one.
He was at home, getting ready for work, when he got a call that every parent dreads. His daughter Angellyh had been hit by a stray bullet near her school. Before he could get to the hospital, another call came in: She was dead. He didn’t believe it until he saw her for himself…
Officials told him the 17-year-old suspect used a ghost gun, which is a privately made firearm that is unregistered and untraceable. Nowadays, anyone with access to the internet can buy the parts needed to make a gun without a background check. Tutorials online explain how to assemble the pieces into a fully functioning firearm with just basic tools in less than an hour.
This sounds innovative.
