What is it about Kingston?
It's actually quite nice when you get there. As long as you don't stray from the main streets. It reminded me of Lima. Armed guards surrounding the Presidential Palace, warnings not to go a block away from the centre city. Hide your luggage deep inside your zoot suit.
Brown's River this morning. A beautiful day.
The feminisation of Australian men?
Does 'recognising' or 'supporting' - so called 'marriage equality' mean we must become feminised?
My Dad used to say "I don't mind homosexuality, as long as you don't thrust it down my [his] throat". And that is a fair comment for the time.
We have had sooo much political correctness and 'social change' advanced upon us, that we no longer can have easy resort to a concept of who we are. That's not a bad thing, in a time of change.
Don't mysogynise me: this isn't my opinion.
Time of change? We will look back on this if we are permitted, if President Trout doesn't try to bomb Korea, and if Korea doesn't try to bomb Bruny Island (well, Guam is about that big, but it is the principle of the thing). The Chinese say, to devastate you "may you live in times of change".
So Larkey was cooking for house guests, and Fitz was determined, not to be folded into the hills of Bonnet.
I reminisced about the rugby coach who encouraged us to sprint up Napoleon Street, to run up to the top of Mount Nelson via the steps cutting through the bends, who had us run back and forth a dozen times up Nanny and Billy Goat lane.
The carrot or the stick? What lessons to our children? Did that make us stronger, more resilient?
Porter: ever ready for the longer version; I'll bet he bought the first 33 1/3rd album when the rest of us were happy with 45rpm. Its alright for him, he only weighs about 33 1/3 kilos!
Nathan; Welcome the return of the Jeddi. A bike he brought back from Spain, of significant weight. But the Leader of the Pack.
In truth, the roll down the other side was convenient, at 3km, more than the 2.4km up to the top of the Bonnet Hill from Hinsby Road. So adding that bastard of 3km up hill again, was possibly excessive.
I like to think it will increase stamina, not kill us. What doesn't kill you etc. But who wants to take that risk now. We don't necessarily want to be stronger. We were as strong as we were ever going to be, yesterday.
For me, it was a longer ride and I do hope it increases stamina. I think it will mean that getting to the top of the Bonnet next time will just be easier, but of the same physical health value that it would have been had it been more difficult.
What was surprising, or at least of interest, was the huge (relatively) number of people out and about. The temperature was low, but not too low, the sun was out, we started earlier (0900hrs) but there were lots of punters on their bikes, and ongoing motor vehicle traffic. Even one poor sod who rolled her P plate car off the Bonnet.
