We all need help obeying the law.
If you look carefully at the bottom left corner of this photo, you’ll see a “Bus lane cameras” sign, reminding drivers that if they drive in the bus lane, a camera will take a photograph of their license plate (or “registration tag,” as it’s called in London, where I took this pic). Then the government will send a large fine to the driver for breaking the law.
This little system allows buses to move much faster than if the bus lanes were clogged with cars who shouldn’t be there.
Similarly, in my state, red light cameras are at almost every intersection. It’s the same deal – if I run a red light, I will get a huge fine. It amounts to a tax to help cash-starved local governments – but it also keeps me from running a red light.
What enforcement system in your world keeps you on the straight and narrow?
You know that men are different from women. I know that too.
During the summer, I saw an amazing toy car collection worth thousands of dollars. It was not in a museum – but in a home office. Few people beyond the collector, his wife and daughter ever see these cars.
A year ago, our friend Jack said our water heater was probably going to break soon – and he recommended getting it replaced.
That’s a question. I’d love to hear what you do to stay healthy. Please leave a comment at the end of this post. Why? Your healthy activities and interests might inspire me and other readers in new and interesting directions.
About the time you read this, I will have just left my European sister… we visited Amy and her family in their now native Belgium.
I know that it’s a long way from Thanksgiving. But I’m thankful today. Two years ago, My mom passed away. I am thankful for her life and the indelible influence she had on me.
As life moves forward, we lose some things.
You never know when the past will meet the present.
