Hi Vis Heaven

I frequent places where it is compulsory to wear hi vis gear.

Places where there are trucks, forklifts, vehicles , more trucks and lots of activity.

Places you may say are slightly dangerous if you don't keep an eye open and be observant to the goings on.

Hi vis and road cones can be over the top in some situations and  there is some push back because of the expense which is now beyond the pail.

Hi vis spreads like a virus and I spied today about fifteen suits in a paddock wearing  hi vis vests which underlined the overkill by officious bureaucrats that were meeting in a paddock to discuss a problem conjured up by computer modelling , that would never eventuate , never occur because lighting doesn't strike twice in the same place , yet here they were looking all important with the odd clipboard and concerned looks on their faces as they pondered how to waste ratepayers money on   a scheme that would never be used .

These hi vis suits have been captured by the results of an event that is over .It happened. It conquered us briefly and slammed us against a wall.

It's too late now. The horse has bolted. 

This belated effort to shut the door is costing millions and any effort to try and talk commonsense , reason, take a practical approach has been lost .

The suits win.

They have the high salaries , the fancy names , the computer modelling skills, the degrees so who are the wise to question them.

It's what gets me in the end.

They are using our money , that is ratepayers money to scatter in the wind. A total waste and then they come for more and threaten us if we object.
