ARGUABLY A BUREACRATIC DOWNGRADE ON TREVALLYN IN A PLAYGROUND

The story goes that a child playing in the park's new playground experienced a 'downhill ball escape' and they chased it as children do. Unwittingly as children are prone to do at times like this they chased their ball across the street – as children do. An adult came driving along and not paying close attention as adults some do.... WELL IT WAS ALARMING!

To cut a long story short there was a 'near miss' and quite probably accusations flew back and forth. The adult said do n ot blame me. Bureaucrats, as bureaucrats are prone to do, rushed to judgement and did something. As bureaucrats are prone to do when blame looks like falling upon them, they do something, almost anything, to divert blame. Then they did something, and quickly, as bureaucrats are prone to do when it looks like blame will fall upon them. 

Bureaucrats, unable as they are to do much of anything really , actually did something by themselves, of their own bat, and well away from the public glare. Except by exerting their misplaced power, as they are prone to do, they are typically 'able' do something and do nothing instead. But here they did the only thing a bunch of bureaucrats are prone to do they shifted blame and got someone else to do something. Someone else to absorb the blame if it should fall their way.

Trouble is they were not sure what to do. Trouble is they needed to be paid. Trouble is they needed to do something in order to be paid. Trouble is they need to look like they knew what needed to be done. Trouble is they lacked design sensitivity. Trouble is the built a cage because they thought would do. Trouble is they didn't know the stories that were looking to be told.  Trouble something has been missed, and lost. Trouble is it cost twice. Trouble is it needn't have. Trouble ... trouble is ... trouble is
