I believe all cars have the indicator on the fuel gauge to tell which side. It is handy with hire cars.

I was driven in a Landrover from Tumut to Gundagai to watch the torch runner go by.

It is just plaine speaking.

Two blankets and a doona tonight.

I grew up in the shadow of the Barrier Industrial Council. School bullies became union officials. It was oppressive, but now it all seems so tame compared with the deep corruption and underworld ties of some of our unions nationally and here in Victoria.

So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl

Well I hate unions and labor and don't feel all that good about the present Royal family. I am a trained Bren gunner. You should all live in fear!

The most thought-provoking bit was when his mate refused to let him use a piece of a coke can to shim his brake lever (as I recall). Because his mate rode a BMW and expected everything on it to be perfect.

My good friend Chatty gave me the following answer: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance argues that the deepest satisfaction in life comes from caring engagement with what we do, rather than from chasing abstract goals or rigid ideologies: by reconciling the “classical” mindset (logic, analysis, technology) with the “romantic” mindset (intuition, aesthetics, immediate experience), Robert Pirsig proposes that Quality—an unnameable but real sense of what is good—arises when we pay attentive, responsible care to both our inner lives and the practical tasks before us, whether maintaining a motorcycle or living thoughtfully in the modern world.

Jerry where were you a child to experience such antisemitism? In country NSW we had the opposite, nothing but sympathy for what had happened in the war. On the bookshelf were those slim green hard bound volumes about the war that most peopl had. One had photos of the concentration camps, skeletal people and open mass graves. I was not supposed to look at it but I did.

One of my favourite books.

I would leave it stand for a week or two to let oil drain back out of wherever it went. Clean the plug. Pull off the float bowl and clean it.

What Hamas did is no worse than what the Japanese army did in Manchuria and Borneo, or what the Nazis did to the Jews. But once done, you can't fight a war against a segment of society. There were good Germans and good Japanese, but the bombs rained down on them all. There is no other way to fight against evil in wartime. And war is the only way to sanitise the evil. Each society, worldwide, is responsible for the actions of the groups within it.

People in prison have been killed with a rock in a sock. If that weapon becomes popular, will Albanian ban rocks or ban socks?
