Knowlege won’t help you here

I was out walking for my lunch yesterday, a quick wander down to the local garage. The nearest to my office is around 20 minutes walk away, which kills your lunch hour quite nicely. Its a boring walk, consisting of two straight roads at right angles to each other, both with hedges or houses down both sides.

Just as I’m heading back toward the office a black cab pulls up and asks directions to my office. I’m not totally surprised by this, what I am surprised about is that he offered me a lift to show him where the office was, and what the reading on the meter was when I got in…£277, that must have been an important delivery.

In other news things are hectic without really showing any kind of progress – I’ve forgotten how to sleep and there hardly seems time for it anyway.


Driving without a safety net – a quick look at how far we’ve come in car safety design in the last 15 years. To my way of thinking this is some good reasons for not getting the latest greatest cars money can buy, you end up losing contact with the road, how to really control a car under pressure.
