Read this excerpt from a speech.
I was enjoying a great afternoon at Meadowlark Park last week, and then an unfortunate event occurred. I was riding my skateboard in the parking lot, trying a new trick.

He said there is a new rule forbidding skateboarding in the parking lot, and official signs would be posted next week.
