OOP describes kids at daycare where - shock - the kids leave the clink and go on walkabout.
This happens in my neighbourhood daily: a platoon of brightly-coloured kids walk down the sidewalk to the playground and back about 2 hours later. Like any decent march it’s in good formation (a rope setup like a backward sled dog rig pulled by a staff member, but just with rings each kid holds; just to keep them together) and has support-wagons so the whiny laggard don’t hold up the march.
It’s fucking adorable; and if I happen to see it, it’s the highlight of my day. They need a pied piper and it’d be #chefsKiss.
I’v had the same with small boys and seeing any sort of construction equipment or tools. Even a shovel got a point and stare. It was a nice shovel tbh
I’d like to see this shovel
😮👉
Oh that’s def a nice shovel. Where you get that? I need a new one, mine is all worn out from doing shovel stuff.
You can pick them up at any construction site if you’re fast enough.
This is the reason why we need to put them behind a lock at the end of each day lol. Any sort of equipment, fuel, all sort of shit is wanted by some sort of thief. I feel like if I left a bag of literal garbage there with some construction equipment manufacturer’s name on it, it would get stolen lmao

What I’m hearing is that you’ve solved the local hazardous waste disposal problem.
The building site already had it when I came there. Don’t know where they got it, Würth or Puuilo probably since those have a company billing account for us.
Based on the response to that shovel, which is nice btw, it seems like some things don’t change with age in some people.
I always find it strange to see Hi-Viz on the item/user that would be the least of a safety hazard. As opposed to being on the item in the area that has the moat potential to be a safety hazard.
It makes sense, it should be the driver that’s on the lookout for the pedestrians and not as much the other way around. So extra visibility stuff to those that are supposed to be spotted. Also cars have lights and whatnot.
Winter in Southern Finland, no snow, dark as hell, everyone wearing black clothing, no reflectors, walking with nose on the phone… Even with properly working lights, street lighting, driving slow just in case, it can be hard to see some pedestrians. I make sure to at least have a few reflectors hanging about when I’m walking around.
When I was a kid (not in SF) they didn’t put us in high vis, they just got us all to hold on to a jump rope.
