A hard day

So where do we go from here?

I wonder what comes from keeping a blog, does anyone read them? Its a bit like keeping a diary but anyone can read it.


Things I observe about life today in general:

• why do so many people now when they are out and about on their own, like out for a walk for example, need to have an i-pod plugged in? What happened to listening to the birds or the wind or the surf or silence?
• Similar to the above, why do so many people need to carry a phone around with them? Why do we need to be so accessible?
• I think the first two above are linked in some way.
• Why do school children need to be conveyed to and from school? I use to walk or ride my bike, some 5 or 6 kilometers each way.
• Why do school children need a mobile phone?
• Why do push bike riders think they need to occupy a whole lane or ignore traffic lights or fail to give way to traffic?
• Years ago you couldn't wear a bike helmet into a petrol service station, yet we allow people to wear a Burka? Why? 
• If any religion is so valid, why is it then that this world is in such a mess? Surly if these beliefs are all what they claim to be then we don't have a problem. Or - if religion was a consumable product then Fair trading would be swamp with complaints.
• Isn't it strange how nearly all religions are based on some story that happened thousands of years ago. If man's intelligence is growing with each advancing century; then how intelligent was the average Joe back say 3,000 years ago? I'm sure someone out there could calculate this fact. 

Dedicated

Hi there
I'd like to dedicate this site to our cat Smokie who passed away a few weeks ago. 
He will never grow old, and we miss him dearly.
Smokie was with us for almost 3 years, a grey Persian cross male.
We miss you mate.
