Pitcher Perfect

Who knew that a park requires THAT much work? It seems that every single day of the week, various City of St. Catharines workers are parked across the street, working on some various aspect of the park and baseball diamond we enjoy. Whether it be cutting the grass, raking the diamond, weeding the field, leveling the gravel, painting lines, trimming trees, cleaning playground equipment, emptying garbage cans, or whatever else, it seems they rarely miss a day. However, I have to wonder if they are perhaps just a LITTLE bit inefficient? Does it REALLY take that long to rake a section of gravel the size of my kitchen? Does it REALLY take that long to make sure that your line is straight? Does it REALLY take that long to ponder the layout of the baseball diamond? Why don't you polish the chain link backstop while you're there? I think that's the one thing you haven't done yet. Then we could be the spanking-est baseball diamond in town! Imagine what that would do for property values.
