On Maui, most men wear shorts and sandals to church. I was supposed to be in Maui for our annual winter visit by now, but because of the Damn COVID pandemic and the slow roll-out of the vaccines, we had to cancel. I am quite depressed. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery

Of course not. But cars will always be needed in more rural areas. Of course they can and will be electric for the most part. Paul > On Jan 18, 2021, at 8:00 AM, Bob Pdml wrote: > > That’s correct, but we can have sewers without cars and we don’t have to go > back to horses. We don’t have

Of course the real problem is overpopulation - from 1.5b in 1890 to 7.8b today - a five-fold increase in 130 years. Perfect for pandemics. Alan C On 18-Jan-21 02:59 PM, Bob Pdml wrote: That’s correct, but we can have sewers without cars and we don’t have to go back to horses. We don’t have

I agree: Nineteenth century photos are charming. Of course what doesn’t register is the raw sewage coursing through the streets, the mountains of horse dung and the accompanying smells and health issues. Those times make for a pretty picture but life was difficult. Paul > On Jan 18, 2021, at

Fascinating. Whenever I see photos from that period I can’t help noticing how beautiful the towns look without motor vehicles and all the accompanying street furniture they bring with them, and also how people make use of the public space which cars now dominate. > On 18 Jan 2021, at 08:07,
