joyride!

We had some fun and games this morning - a stolen car crashed into the side of a sushi bar not 100 yards from my front door! Yeah, that was nice and chaotic. The road was closed for quite a while - getting out to get to my IT class was fun. All clear now, though, bar the clearing up. The poor owners must be going crazy at the thought that some idiot could steal a car for the sheer hell of it and end up doing this to their livelihood.



Also, look at that lovely blue sky in the picture - you'd never guess that just last Friday we had a month's worth of rain in 24 hours!

Heh, yeah. I was talking to [livejournal.com profile] femsc about this last week. We can't get over that the resources are found to transport vast quantities of oil around the world, but not water. It seems crazy.

Exactly. The powers-to-be have their priorities in the wrong order. Man can move mountains, if he applies himself to the task.

Especially when you consider just how many places are desperately short of water. I suppose the sad truth is that the people who really need water are the ones who can't afford to pay over the odds for it. And then again, why should they? Priorities are very skewed :(
