The little ol me

Almost a year ago I got you. A year on and I still think you look rather dashing! I can't wait to drive you to Sydney and back.

Just a note that both of my GROM side mirror screw threads were a left handed thread so they are did not fit any of the right handed screws when purchasing after market side mirrors. My fault for not checking prior, would always think everything would just work. Silly me. Had to pay an extra $10 shipping another set of M10 1.25x screws. Blehs. http://www.rideitmoto.com/products.php?id=12 I bought the CNC BIllet Side Mirrors.

My first vet event for the year.

I can understand when a third world country floods due to heavy rain but when a first world country floods I believe its just bad planning. http://www.smh.com.au/business/the-economy/risk-room/sydneys-greatest-perils-floods-and-storms-20161109-gslxrz.html http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-38541333

http://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2016/03/empathy-sociopathy-and-psychopathy/476235/ The problem with those who are devoid of empathy is that, although they may recognize what’s right, they have no motivation to act upon it. Where empathy really does matter is in our personal relationships. Nobody wants to live like Thomas Gradgrind—Charles Dickens’s caricature utilitarian, who treats all interactions, including those with his children, in explicitly economic terms. Empathy is what makes us human ; it’s what makes us both subjects and objects of moral concern. Empathy betrays us only when we take it as a moral guide . Two other recent books, “The Empathic Civilization” (Penguin), by Jeremy Rifkin, and “Humanity on a Tightrope” (Rowman & Littlefield), by Paul R. Ehrlich and Robert E. Ornstein, make the powerful argument that empathy has been the main driver of human progress , and that we need more of it if our species is to survive .
