Saturday morning and nothing to write about.

 Well, let's just start writing and see where we go.

I might pop up to Paraparaumu today to see an old friend. That'll mean a trip down the Kapiti Expressway. I see that Mr. Seemore (deliberate spelling mistake) is going to increase the speed on it to 110km/h. Hey, Seemore, most cars are doing that already, and huge trucks aren't far behind that speed! There was a crash recently (not in Kapiti) where a truck, no doubt speeding along, blew a tyre and crashed through the wire fence in the middle of the road and killed three people. 

The speed limit for trucks and vehicles towing is presently 90km/h. What does Seemore plan to do to this limit? It is very seldom that I see a big truck, or a vehicle towing a trailer, observing this limit.

As they say in those posters beside some roads, "The faster you go, the bigger the mess."

That's just basic physics.

I really need a picture about now to maintain reader interest. Here goes.

By the way, on the very unlikely chance that you want to read Roberto's blog, it is on our LINKS service under the name Tent Horn.

Roberto has an idol with a similar name but I assure you that I'm not referring to him. Think about it, how many people are called Simon Smith or Johnny Brown?

The name seems to suit Roberto (who is not Italian) so I think I'll start referring to him as Tent.

Tent is amused.

For some reason Tent's latest post is about Nepal. Okay, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, I guess he's just being original. His Sunday post might be about nudist camps or the Mexican Airforce. Your guess is as good as mine. Good on Tent, I suppose, for being original.

Poor OLD Peter will still be trying to make his house respectable before his boss comes home. Boss? Yes, let's be honest, in a relationship women are generally the boss. I know that I'm certainly not the boss around here. I'm more like a handyman. I do the lawns, cook dinner and clean the spouting. I also check the oil in all the cars (there are three in our drive). I do still get my little rewards, so it's worth it.

Well, I'm not doing too bad for someone who had nothing to say. 

As it turns out, I won't be popping up to Paraparaumu today. That's all good. I'll get to avoid Mr. Seemore's speeding vehicles.

"I'm getting some glasses so I can see more.
Especially when I'm driving at 120km/h
on the Kapiti Expressway."

120km/h?

Well, that's it for this morning.
