That does seem outrageously expensive. Find another clinic?

I am sure there was a social media thing about Pizza Hut cheese containing a form of silicon.

That's a good question. I imagine your body is the brake.

Gebbies pass climb to summit.

You can see the road slicing into the cliff face as it winds to the top and the distance from where I am to the end vertically

Out cycling, need to go to the loo but no lock for the bike.

Solution: take your bike into the disabled toilet! Fits perfectly fine.

Apologies to any person who needed to use that loo, I was pretty quick.

Just spotted a Blackbird couple flying on to the grapevine grabbing a grape each and flying off to eat it.

The cheek of it.

I met a an elderly couple in the Port Hills on ebikes. They got them because the husband (76) was told to exercise or die.

So they are doing rides around the country in their camper.

Lifechanging!

Tunnel Girl I meet Kala, a woman digging a tunnel under her suburban home.

I have been following this amazing person on facebook for about a year now, as she digs a humongous tunnel under her house.

Its really daunting how she does is alone and builds her own equipment.

Today i found that Farrier has interviewed her as well.

I think there is a high degree of wish fulfillment here.

Politicians can easily forget that the past happened and they were the cause of it.

The day after Trump every Republican will be saying "I always always against him".

Yet they will use his playbook as soon as they can.

'Rockets and feathers' effect: The phenomenon behind soaring gas prices Do petrol prices rise faster when oil increases, than they fall when it drops?

This is the government that cancelled EVs.

Remember that when you drive to work and buy groceries at inflated prices.

However the US dies, it dies. The seeds are there for its internal defeat and whatever pushes it over the brink will come along eventually.

Whether Trump, or deficit, or civil war, or stock market collapse, or climate change, or inability to adapt to a changing world, the outcome is inevitable.

For the first time in weeks I dragged my road bike out and went for a 40km ride.

It was so smooth, it was so fast, I was a road god. I must have gained so much stamina and endurance using the trails bike on hills. I was so pleased.

Get home, check my app. Exactly the same time as usual. No diff.

John, I am not sure what the point of this is, to me its typical American christo-politics.

But as an outsider, only people who accept Christ go to heaven. No one else. Heaven is a Christian construct. Its a package deal. You can't pluck it out of Christianity and make your own theology.

It's ok they were bombed a couple of days ago. In today's world it's ancient history and not important.

It's only important for the first 6 hours .

Note that Seymour never gets above the level of his base.

So no one who is not an act supporter likes him enough to be pm.
