The aspects of things that are most important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951)

Boys with Toys

Have been informed by credible source that correct spelling is 'go karting'. But words that begin with 'K' are generally displeasing to me as they frequently signal 'fun with words' (e.g., kuntry kutters kabin or kool or kwik kleaners -- aaaarrgggh!), to which i am definitely opposed. Exception would be kung-fu. Or khaki. Perhaps readers would like to suggest other acceptable words that begin with 'k' for my consideration.

Went on exciting excursion into Welsh countryside yesterday afternoon (!) with Eamonn, Keith, Simon, Sharon and Keith's work colleagues for participation in a Memorial Cup race but cannot remember who we were remembering.

Why is it that females are much more cautious drivers, actually just more cautious in everything in general, but we won't go onto a tangent about that, than males? Why do males drive ridiculously fast, bump into things & push people over to the dirt?

Photo (sorry it's blurry) is for the benefit of Lisa McR and is simultaneously a homage to my J-Lo-jumpsuit-wearing Papa :) Look, Mama, I'm a racing driver! Not really, came in last on most races -- although must admit was incredibly proud when came in THIRD when the Car of Power was my draw from the lot!

The Car of Power pleases me.

And just when I was starting to figure out the tricks of centrifugal force and gassing it to fishtail around curves, the heats were over and (big surprise) I was not in the final...

How about Kittens?
Or should that be Kute Kuddly Kittens?

OF COURSE!!!!!

How could i forget 'kittens'? Obviously, my mind is detrimentally preoccupied if that wasn't the first thing that sprang (or would that be sprung?) to mind.

You are, however, to be sternly reprimanded for the travesty of 'Kute' and 'Kuddly' usage.
