Yes, did ask, and was told non-selective herbicide to kill weeds.

I'm sure you are correct and 24 hours is overkill, but there were kids playing in that park probably 15 minutes later. It's been occupied non-stop as it's only a month old.

Thanks for that explanation. I looked up what the CDC recommends for Glyphosate, and it's clearly stated in bold "Do not let kids or pets play on or touch areas where weed killer has been applied until 24 hours have passed." Regardless of the downvotes, I stand by my comment that I'd be upset if I had kids unknowingly playing in that playground today.

I'm pretty sure you don't want kids unknowingly playing in it 20 minutes later? I'm no expert on the topic, but I know enough to stay away from it until it dries.

Reply to FYI: The light-up “no left turn” sign isn’t a suggestion, the traffic signal will literally never serve you. Always see drivers waiting on my morning commute by Andrew_64_MC

Because drivers in Richmond are fucking idiots. Literally someone sitting at this light almost every time the no left turn is activated. A cop could sit there and give out tickets like it's the chic fil a drive thru, but that's also true anywhere on Broad.

Mountain biking, whitewater kayaking. Drive to the coast and do some kiteboarding. Drive to snowshoe or timberline and ski/snowboard.

Won't ever happen in 'merica. The right just loves their guns just too damn much, and any mention of common sense gun control such as storing firearms under lock and key sets them off in a "you can't take my guns" rant.

It's in case to prove fault in an accident. RPD doesn't care about reckless driving, or any driving infractions for that matter. In case of an accident, insurance companies will take that video, figure out who owns the vehicle, find their insurance, and recover the money needed to fix your car or pay for your medical bills.

TL:DR Police don't care, insurance companies do

Buy a dashcam if you don't have one already. Saw an accident just the other day where the at fault lady was blaming the visibly upset lady that had been hit to the point she was in tears. Luckily it all happened in front of a city bus that got it all on camera. Otherwise the victim would have had a tough time proving otherwise.
