Nasty attack sidewalks

Last month, I was out walking around town. I came upon this curb.


I checked traffic, decided it was safe, and confidently strode out, only to discover ...

... that someone had stolen the concrete.

The results were startling and spectacular (not to mention painful and bloody!). It was only just a couple weeks ago that I finally stopped wearing an ankle brace. I can walk just fine on it, but I wouldn't want to run a 50-yard dash just yet.

I politely emailed the city asking them to please consider fixing little evil surprises like this one. Sure enough, in under two weeks, it was paved over.

I just wish my ankle would heal that quickly! Ouch.
