Dogs and Mierda

I'm finally starting to get serious about the Video Interviewing System, and took the computer, camera and microphone over to a local park today to see how the light and soud would be.  It must have been dog-walker day at the park -- at least 15 dog-walkers, some with 10 or more dogs were at the park.  And instead of walking the dogs, the dogs were tied up to a tree.  And barking.  A lot.  So I walked over to another park that was a bit quieter.

Speaking of dogs and walking, probably my least favorite thing here is the dog shit on the sidewalk.  And there's a lot of it.  Not off to the side, next to a tree, or on some grass, but smack in the center of the sidewalk.  Once again, this is one of those cases where I don't trust the market, I don't believe that people will make the right decision on their own, and the heavy hand of the government is most welcome.  Alas, dog owners here have a different perspective, so walking requires constant attention.
