Racing and Parking

On the Emmy-winning show The Amazing Race(Family Edition), the team that won the episode's leg of the race received the prize of a trip to Bermuda to stay at the Fairmont Southampton Princess hotel. Host Phil Keoghan messed up by saying there was a 9-hole golf course when it's really 18-holes (but all par 3s), but that's okay. A nice little plug to get the island mentioned on network television, I'm sure both the Fairmont Group and the Tourism Board will be pleased. But if Ewart Brown takes credit then I will sock somebody.

In the wake of a few recent serious road collisions, shame on the driver of 24794 for cantering through a red light at an intersection. Why don't people realize that when the light turns yellow, you should at least slow down and at red stop? Yellow should not mean that "you can still go a bit further but hurry up a bit"?

Parking in the city is a real chore. On a bike, you'd think that options would be available but nope. I really hate to think of what will happen when the new large office building opens up across the street and when the Par-la-ville car park is demolished to make way for a hotel or something. The only way to travel may be by helicopter.
