We received the“2007 Fun Guide” circular from the city’s Division of Parks & Recreation today. It’s a directory of all of the city’s recreation facilities as well as schedules for this summer’s recreation and athletic programs. Subtitled “get out and play!” it’s 45 pages brimming with things to do in the great outdoors. It is with no small amount of irony that I must report that the back cover of this chipper little book is a full page ad for a personal injury law firm promising to “get you the money you deserve” for “death & serious injuries” and “slip & fall.” You’d have thought Parks & Recreation would be a little more selective in who they accept as sponsors for this sort of thing, but apparently not. "Get out and play, fall down and sue" I suppose.
