I only have the odd new idea but there is always plenty of other stuff
Well the letter we have been waiting for still has not come. Made some phone calls and sent some emails but nothing has come to hand so far.
Weather has been fine but is forecast to deteriate this afternoon. Will need to go out and do some business soon. Thought I wouls make a quick entry befor I went.
Well believe it or not a decision has been made but no letter came…… had phone call from the Advocate who had received notification that entitlements have been restored. What will this mean? Well to start with ACC have 28 days to appeal. If this does not happen Mum should get what she needs to live her life with a lotmore facilities than she currently has. This is good news for once.
A wonderful sunny day today warm if you were out of the wind. Clear skies and almost like a summers day.
Hope we get more of them
Petrol up again. ($2.18 per litre) It is never ending…. People are finding it tough. The recent ACC Levey was an extra 2c on top of all the other costs was almost too much. I try to think do I need to use the car before I look for the keys. It seems that we will all have to change our life style and become less dependent on oil.
Weather not as good as forcast rain wind and cold. Frost forecast for this morning.
Well sometimes…
There are however times when there is no purpose in asking why as there is no reason or answer to the why question. For example why did it rain or why did the earthquake strike? One can speculate or propose some fantasy type explanation but not produce facts or anything of substance. Words such as luck, chance and oportunity come to mind in this situation and perhaps would be useful in trying to reason why.
When it comes to man made products events or services then it is a different “ball game” you should and must ask why. Much of the progress we have made in history has come about by asking why and intensively searching for facts and explanations.
Our health safety systems do this and much valuable knowledge and expertise has been gained in these fields. The black box on an aeroplane helps investigators answer the why question and consequently many safety features and improvements have been developed. Governments use commisions of inquiry and again the purpose is to further the greater good.
Well ask why when it serves some purpose. But do not ask why when there is no answer to be found. Perhaps the best we can do is be wise in hindsight.
Extreme cold weather has been across the country. High winds, cold and heavy rain. Lots of lightening and thunder.
The price of oil continues to rise. It costs all of use and not just at the petrol pump. Every thing we buy is transported and this almost always means oil is used.
Well it was NZ’s turm….. trucks went into the cities and towns this morning. The objective was to object to new road user charges. Road user charges are a tax on heavy vehicals used to help maintain roads. It is difficult to understand what will be achieved by this. One thing for sure a lot of oil will be used… (estimated cost $500 000)….and a lot of time used up. It will give them a lot of exposure and I guess that is the main objective.
