Subject: RE: UK police sledding on riot shields
Reminds me of a bad ice storm we had in 2003. I had a plumber come give me a quote on replacing a burst hot water tank, and he drove super slow to get to my place because the streets were a sheet of ice. He had a tank with him and the stuff, and though his price was high, I had him do the work simply because he'd worked so hard to get here.

As he headed down my straight front walk to his truck, I saw the rapid shift to little boy as he reached a smooth stretch and did a little two-step and standing slide down the path.

PLAY is a shared human experience, and a shortcut to finding something in common. The fact that they were willing to break their necks sliding down a steep hill on those tiny little disks connects with a lot of people in a way many other approaches wouldn't (and probably makes their chiropractors happy, as well!)
