More rules

at the water fun place in boston you do have to wear shoes. ah, and you cannot run.
today we went swimming in a lake, and there was a strict rule of "no inflatables". i didnt have any, since they had sold all the pink inflatable tires (or whatever you call them). im still sad about that, they were so pretty! but... you were absolutely forbidden to use them. there was a little girl with her mom and she was having fun with such a small inflatable tire. nope, lifeguards came to send her out of the water. only acceptable inflatable was a life vest. the girl didnt have a life vest.... 
really? why is something like that forbidden? i really dont get it...
we had a long swim (some 50 minutes! back and forth across the lake), and now im tired. i took a few pictures there but im too lazy to get them. next time, next time... :)

What about a helmet, this looks very dangerous!

You can read local history into these things. Someone didn't wear shoes, cut their foot - and, of course, sued everyone they could think of. And someone may have drown using an inner tube. Another lawsuit. Another rule. "Of course I'm not responsible! It's all YOUR fault!"

@kay; you are most likely right. probably "the people" did this to themselves.. that reminds me, i still want to write a post about that. sometime... :)
