news The g.f. picked up a used portable basketball hoop for the kids. This
is
the type with the big plastic base that you fill with water. The label
on the pole suggests adding "non-toxic" antifreeze to the water. Is
this
an auto parts store item? Or just pour in a few quarts of everclear?
You might want to wait & see if the kids are actually going to use the
thing when it's cold enough for the water to freeze.

At any rate though it needs to be pushed out onto the street so the
street can be turned into a playground. When I mentioned to one person
who had one on the street in front of their house that it was a pubic
street and drivers shouldn't have to thread their way through a
playground to avoid hitting kids they actually told me that I shouldn't
be driving on "their" street.

Uh oh. It's the Absolute Statement Hour, sponsored by Seagram.

I see some of these hoop things in or near the street. I also see some
nowhere near the street, with kids happily using them.
Reading comprehension problem today? Where did a mention portable hoops
where a bad thing?

You didn't. You said "it needs to be pushed out onto the street".
