lilacskies I like night drives, but I won't be doing them any longer. My only guilty pleasure that I looked forward to is out of the window due to costs. I am definitely one of those people cutting back on gas. I can't afford it anymore.

I'm back home after "hanging out" with my mean sister-in-law. I say "hanging out" because it was just her basically bossing me around and doing things for her as usual. Whatever she said, I obeyed like a good pet. She told me to...

The photo shows what’s described as a Power Wash ‘n Dry Clean Machine. It was another interesting item that we saw in the Collie Museum. Someone had used it when they were caravanning. It doesn’t say how old it is but I think...

Most rural and semi-rural settlements are marked with planted trees, especially of foreign origin. In Kenya, many homesteads have planted trees, which more often than not, are Eucalyptus (of South African origin.) Many...

lilacskies @SIDIKIMPOLE I thought so. Are there poisonous trees? I'll have to do some research on that. I always thought trees are good for the environment in general. Nature can be confusing.

The ongoing conflict in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is worrying. What if the war spreads and affects the neighbouring countries? Diplomatic relations between DRC and Rwanda have already gone sour. Uganda on the other...

lilacskies I have to fill up my gas 2 to 4 times a month, at least once every two weeks or once every week depending on how much I need to drive per month and how much work I have. I need my car for work. If there weren't so many psychos on the subway, I wouldn't mind...
