Safety First

Long-time field correspondent, Griz, sent me this picture and the following text.


Our building management decided that the covered walkway to our parking garage needed to be repaired (and by "repaired" they meant painted with a few coats of glossy, thick and shiny paint). Unfortunately this repair work left the walkway more slippery than a bowl of fresh badger squeezings. The first day it reopened several people fell whilst shuffling across it.  After the requisite public outcry (and the tragic squeezing of innumerable badgers) the building manager responded by heroically placing three safety cones along the center of its 50 foot span. I'm not exactly sure how much less slippery it is with the cones in place, but the added trip hazard obstacle course is a delight! I feel safer already!
