Actually , not bad considering the last few days
The wind was really up , yesterday , the hat blew off in the parking lot
We anticipate snow flurries or more ,later
Movie Review : Tom Cruise plays another Jack , this time Jack Harper Tech 49 and 52 and .......................... The movie is
' Oblivion ' , Sci Fi w/ a touch of classic romance. Futuristic , earth 1/2 destroyed .. Yeah , they're plundering Earth again. Basically , mining water for fusion energy. Heck , if we're ruining the planet why aren't we doing the fusion energy thingy.
Rating : .6 out of a dollar ( paid $2 b/c its blu-ray )
Don't buy this one , a touch of classic romance but this is not a classic. well done but not worth the $18 that I saw the other day.
This morning through the headphones , the story was Malmo , Sweden , population 350 000 w/ loads of bike. Their fundamental problem , not enough bike racks. Ten years ago , faced w/ gridlock , Malmo went bike crazy. Bike lanes are 2 - way , the bike lanes protected by a barrier rise in the curb.
The result has been a switch , now 60 % of all trips are by bike. You see back when , the research showed 60 % of all car trips were under 5 km.
Malmo hosts delegations all year that come to study the bike program.
The city fathers said ' this is nuts ( traffic problem ) and said ' we'll build bike lanes ' , bingo bango and Bob's your uncle , people switched to bikes. No long term planning or studies ' do it '
The change-over is powered by the cost of gas and frustration of people trying to commute or shop.
