Is it a private park, or public land?
Who pays for the groomer?

I traveled by train across Germany in December, 2009. Cross-country skiing wasn't just good exercise, but the preferred way to cross a field, or head for town.; 12/26/13, 3:49 PM

I am waiting for someone to do this backlash thing that happened with the overly eager gay activists, with racebaiters. Call them out, shame them.; 12/26/13, 9:19 PM
