My sons enjoying the Garden Railway display.Frak a trial. These people should be caught, hung, and then shot.
That pretty much summed up my feelings after the division received a report of a vandalism at The Morris Arboretum last night. The Arboretum is in the swanky Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia - one of the few places left where you don't have to dodge bullets a la Neo - and in addition to the trees and sculpted bushes, includes a really neat-o outdoor electric train display. The family went there last summer - primarily so the kids could watch the trains - and we all had a terrific time.
And this is why I am so pissed off.
According to the Director, at least three people - my guess would be punk teenagers - drove three Club Carts around the property, knocking down a sheep sculpture, seriously damaging three magnolia trees, and wrecking the displays and bridge to the Garden Railway.
Total damage value: $20,000.
Total non-monetary damage: Two distraught children who happen to love trains.
Please, Jesus, let me find the bastards that did this.
And please God, let these hoodlums lose their balance and "fall down" repeatedly.
ReplyDeleteFm - Um, "accidentally." Yeah, that's right.
ReplyDeleteWell of course. You don't think I would suggest that someone do something untoward, do you?
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame. Yeah...this doesn't make the news. Is this covered by insurance or will they have to raise funds for repairs?
ReplyDeleteI went there with my (now ex) girlfriend last year. Loved the train stuff.
ReplyDelete...shame a bunch of a**hats had to ruin it though.
I think FM said it all:)
ReplyDeleteOMG, your boys are absolutely beautiful, Wyatt. They have faces that should grace television screens and magazine everywhere. Gorgeous.
