Pipeline Park

I don't know how common petroleum pipelines are in parks. My guess is that in Texas, it is extremely common, since homeowners are required to contact the state's oil and gas regulator, the Railroad Commission, if they want to dig more than 18 inches. However, I was still shocked thinking that while wandering around on my own, head down, immersed in private worries, I could step somewhere unconsciously and just...blow up.
