    Waaaaaay the hell off topic.

    Rob knew Gary Gygax. That man shaped a lot of my childhood, and for good or ill depending on ones perspective, my success in life through some contacts made because of his products.

    Rob is up a few levels in my book, and gets +1 Internet for that statement alone....

    Don't yap yap too much to the drivers ... they are REALLY concentrating. They will let you know when it's time to have a conversation. Also, if you're yapping, they may go faster to get you too their destination depending on the conversation lool.

    I was sitting on the friary verandah and the bikes were racing up and down Beach Road--a blur as they shot past the church yard. They had to be going 175 to 200 kph--and the noise was unreal. I expected to hear the next morning that someone died and wasn't wrong. The good news, in that there is good news in tragic death, is that some innocent pedestrian or persons in a car were not the victims. It's not the road or the medians, it's the incredible irresponsibility of young people who think they are invincible. In my 17 years in high school teaching and administration I attended way too many funerals of young people driving irresponsibly. As for the adults who are reckless beyond belief, charity prevents any further comment. --Fadder Jim

    Mo,

    It was 3:30am in the morning... the night patrols are around but limited and keeping an eye on the neighborhoods. And in all honesty, and at that time of the of the morning, traffic violations are realistically not their highest priority.

    Didn't realize it was the middle of the night. Fr. Jim said he was sitting on the verandah so I assumed it was day or evening.
