Going the wrong way?
I bet you wouldn’t want to meet this truck on the freeway.Â
If you hadn’t figured, the truck is painted to look like it is going in reverse.

The Queen been asked to apologize for slavery.
As I previously mentioned the Queen is visiting the US for the first time in 16 years,
There have already been calls for her to apologize for the introduction of slavery and slaughter of American Indians.
Why is it that some people always seem to want to have modern leaders take responsibility for actions or events in history that are particularly distasteful. I think this is a waste of energy. History is full of grievous acts that have shaped our future, and made our countries and civilizations what they are today. Appeasing our modern consciences by having our leaders apologize to us does not alter the fact that these events have occurred.
Welcome to the Colonies Your Majesty
Queen begins US trip in Virginia:
The Queen arrives in Virginia for what is her first visit to the US for 16 years.
Welcome back Your Majesty. Please take a good look around, see how many of us brits are here, and take this advice back to your government:
“Free Enterprise works a lot better than socialism”
On Trip to Mars, NASA Must Rethink Death
On Trip to Mars, NASA Must Rethink Death:
NASA has begun to ponder practical and ethical questions of exploration.
As I have a geeky fascination with space exploration and especially Mars, I found the article above Interesting. It is the first time in my memory that NASA has looked into the realities of deep space exploration.Â
I have no comment on the moral or ethical issues at hand other than to say that if we want to explore our solar system and beyond we have to accept the unfortunate truth that some people will die, and there is not a lot we can do about that when it happens. Especially when the explorers are millions of miles away.
