The cage makes it harder to see the game at your feet. There's also just the culture of hockey. The last un-helmeted NHL player didn't retire until 1997. Referees often didn't wear them for some time thereafter. I remember on

I visited Paris in November 2017 and didn't have to wait at all to see the Mona Lisa. The room had a good number of people in it, but wasn't crowded. My advice: If possible, take your trips in the late fall!

Not trying to discount your opinion, but it sounds like much of your complaints are related to Drupal more than to PHP. Any job building web forms or hacking on a CMS is going to get old real fast, and those exist in every language used on
