... A thought-provoking poem :
Faith, Eagle and Dove.
Where thinking is no longer possible,
faith and our believe have to come in,
said the dove to the eagle...
Well, answered the eagle, with the difference of course,
that you already believe whilst I am still thinking...

I like that.
How are you doing these days, Kristina?

Thank you MooseMom, how are you doing?
... I am still “hanging on” and keep my fingers crossed through the trials and tribulations which come along ...
... like yesterday evening when during my dialysis-session, whilst our car was parked outside,
a bus and a rubbish-collecting-lorry had a dispute,
as to who has to make space for whom to drive first on this particular small road...
... The bus could have stopped to let the rubbish-collecting-lorry drive on,
or the rubbish-collecting-lorry could have stopped to let the bus drive on
but neither of them stopped and both continued to drive
and the bus driver continued to drive into one parked car
which in the process smashed into our parked car...
Today we are busy to sort things out and hopefully we get our car repaired soon...
and I still try to figure out what the dispute between the busdriver and the lorrydriver was all about?
That is the point where Augustin Souchy’s thoughts come in "handy" to keep the logic going ...

Off Topic... This is a place where people can come and NOT talk about dialysis. oops (D word)

Rerun, Admin.

Sorry about this "slip of the pen", I forgot completely,
because I was trying to figure out those two drivers
who had wrecked our transport to the centre
and still cause us so much upheaval...

P.S. As a footnote: our car is currently being repaired :bow; ... that is very lucky, because our car is very old and there were fears
that its age could stand in the way of getting it repaired, but luckily the repairs are going ahead right now...
... As a footnote to this: when we came out of the centre yesterday, we witnessed another accident just outside the centre
where a driver drove straight into a few parked cars outside the centre ...
That made us wonder whether the presence of "streetfinding-computers" in cars distract drivers from concentrating on driving?
I am saying this because whenever we travel to the centre (with the car kindly provided by our insurance),
we regularly have to maneuver cleverly to avoid an accident, because some of the other drivers appear to be too distracted
to concentrate on their own driving...
