One More Thing

I'm keeping a list of things to do when I become King, and I have another item to join the list (see my main page):  

Ban those 50 foot long retractable dog leashes that people use to allow their dogs to wander far off and across the bike/hike path while they yak on the phone, thereby blocking the entire walkway to bikers and pedestrians.   They then act startled that someone has to come to a complete stop while waiting for them to reel in their dog.

OK, so how do you feel about the 16-foot ones? BTW, a person talking on their cell phone is not "walking" their dog. They are merely allowing it to experience fresh air.

I don't like any of the retractable leashes. They all allow pet owners to look like they're controlling their pets, without actually doing so. I agree about the cell phones.
