Flirting with Danger

 

It’s easy to look at anything superficially especially those who dig out steps along the cliffs of Del Mar having the best of intentions?

 

While erecting the path nothing wrong with landing a hand to a young female distracted by this false sense of security

 

The road to hell is NOT necessarily paved with bad intentions but when one considers that in the end this world is all about money then surely we should be looking at the fact that while we ticket people who walk their unleashed dogs on what is essentially railroad property very much falling apart, WHAT IF someone slips breaks their neck, left a quadriplegic while the digger of all our graves appears to do the right thing helping out a carefully orchestrated scene not necessarily all geared to attract a damsel in distress?

 

Okay lets not worry about lawsuits and the Del Mar City council somehow finding the money to settle multiple class action lawsuits WHAT ABOUT the damage to the cliff if more people under the guise of civil duty were to create their own paths not just the less than a handful that currently exist inviting more erosion to some of the better surfing spots.

 

Why is it asking so much of those perhaps not in the best of shape to walk the path at 15th Street without the majority paying a hefty price for so few bent out of shape?

 

Careful should we all be of those who flirt with danger?
