my youngest is now 50 and we live along the coast. One day at the beach, i mentioned to a close friend (also our family doctor) that i would like to get a harness as this one was a wanderer and he promptly informed me that he would have to report me...
It was even a "no-no" back then around these parts.
I agree with you, it would have made life a lot easier and i do believe, a lot safer....but one can't fight city hall !!!!!!!!!!!!
