bollard is a funny word
Every December since a roundabout was built near the library, my city has put up a giant Christmas tree in the middle of said roundabout. Twice since then, a car has hit the tree. (How? Even if you're not used to roundabouts, there's like a five-foot radius of pavement and grass between you and the tree.) The tree's misfortune has become a running joke.
The Christmas tree is surrounded by bollards. I don't remember if they were added before or after the first accident.
Bollards. I once had an uncontrollable laughing fit while telling my friends how one of Target's iconic spherical bollards was caught on video rolling away from the storefront. Bollard is such a silly word. It sounds like a British insult. Drive safely, you absolute bollard!
Bollard bollard bollard. It's so much easier to write about silly bollards than it is to write about my mental health struggles… May this year be kinder to me than the last.
