Life is a bit odd at times. I have been thinking about adding a blog for a while now but really cannot think of what to write. Things are so nice in my posh West Side Vancouver neighbourhood that I feel little need to blog anymore. I have, however, had 3000+ hits since my last post. I have the feeling about two thirds of that come from one person (you know who you are, Comrade) but somebody is still reading. I have had a life-long interest in automobiles. I have always kept up with the technology and what is happening in the industry, which employs about one quarter of all Canadians. Car and Driver has an excellent web site that has not cheapened its content since the .com bust. While reading the October issue, I came across this excellent piece: http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=4&article_ id=9977&page_number=1" title="http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=4&article_ id=9977&page_number=1" target="_blank"http://www.caranddriver.com/a... In a media as censored as that in the USA, I was very surprised to read this comment from a full Colonel: [b]"We created an insurgency that wasn't here," Col. Pinnell freely admits of the post-invasion days when U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer ran, or misran, Iraq. "Now it's our job to fix that."[/b] I have a lot of respect for decent, gentle people, an Col Pinnell seems to me to be such a person. Sometimes a few words mean a lot more than many. |
