I just received a note from Queen Elizabeth. She has declared that
we are flubbing democracy, and therefore, effectively immediately,
our independence is revoked. Among the changes she will implement in

IT is getting hot here, up to almost 30 today in Illinois. A good friend of
mine, Phil Butler, and his daughter, were killed in a terrible traffic
accident in England. Don't think I can blame the roundabouts though, I
think it was because of all those stupid high hedges that block the view of

In Noosa Australia, the roundabout capital of Down Under, there are upwards of
fifty of them in a medium sized town--at almost every intersection. Locals
complain that the edges of their tires (left edge, I guess) get worn town
prematurely! It was wonderful being in an SI only country. Rental
My wife came across this "almost metric" cartoon, as she put it...

Interesting thing about the British and their roundabouts, and driving on
the left side of the road.
I was in a car being driven around England a few years back. The driver
sits on the right, but the gear shift is in the left, in the middle of the
car. So since they travel on the opposite side of
I rented a car in Ireland in 2009. It was a stick shift, wheel on the right,
drive on the left side of the road. It wasn’t difficult.
We rented the car in Belfast, toured the shipyard where the Titanic and the
Olympic were built, drove to Downpatrick to see St. Patrick’s burial site (at

You answered my question. When I was there last (a long time ago) the
distances were in miles, but the speed limits were in km/h. Without the
km/h shown. As a passenger in a car, I was really scared of the speed until
the driver explained this state of affairs. I was like this apparently for
years
In Australia we also drive on the wrong side of the road in cars with manual
gearboxes and negotiate roundabouts clockwise in speeds measured in kilometres
per hour. It’s a miracle we’re not all dead from traffic accidents.
It’s going to be a cold 10ºC today in Melbourne
Best wishes,

I recently got the book Healthy 4 Life from the WAPF. Besides nutritional
advice, it is full of recipes, almost all of which use cups or spoons as
units. I'm thinking of asking them to provide the equivalent mass in grams of
all ingredients. The mass, however, is no use without a scale. If I

Peter, who is to say which is "wrong?" I would think that, to the drivers on
the left, the rest of the world has it wrong (grin).
Concerning metric Australia, I enjoyed two splendid weeks in 2007 visiting
there, in a country where your measurement is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I use
