Transport - Mandags / Monday theme

Transport is very important for a modern society.
In fact it's basic for high level logistics.


This is the Aquaduct over the river Tarn, near Millau, France. Photo taken Saturday, August 1 - 2009.
When we passed here first time in the 1980'ies, we had to go down from the Mountains, pass the Town of Millau and the climb up again. The bridge saves a Truck with food and other necesarry other goods at least 1 - 1,5 hour in driving time. Besides lots of noise and pollution in the Town itself.

Cats - papa - Anna had a Tuesday


RRRRIIINGGG - Anna's Allarm Clock at 5:55 RRRRIIINGGG - papa's allarm bell at 6:25

Tuesday Morning. Raining. Dark. Very chilly (10 C - brrr)). Believe it or not: 4 hungry Cats - outside. mieeiuw.

Rosa and Felicia came down their secrete path - during the Night. Both were wet.

Some breakfast - a banana for papa, coffee for Anna - lot's of food for the Cats. In and out.

Then rush out. OMG - it's steep. Picked up the Morning Paper. Papa started the Car. We listened to the local Radio: The Train leaving from yyyy to xxx - sorry: Due to lack of --- - it will be cancelled What then? The Express Bus - yeah- But can we reach it? - Anna did, papa not (had to park the car)

Papa went to his dentist in the middle of the Day. USD 400. And 2 hours away from work. Public Transportation.

Afternoon - returning from job?
With Train - in the Oslo area? Haha. We have a left-green goverment that have promised all public communications have the highest priority due to the global warming. But what happens?
Trains can not run - it's called problems with signals.
Busses - stand up and be very patient - forget the timetable
Cars - bump bump - at least you can sit dry and listen to the Radio, own Music or ---

What should have taken 18 minutes ended up with nearly 2 hours.
It's called Green Transportation. Less CO2. Cars and busses standing still, with Motors running. Hmmm?
Papa and Anna says: Stop Talking. Start Doing.

purrr purrr - you humans are mioooow miuooopid,
says Rosa and Felica. They know.

ps. I think I'll just go out in our Garden and hunt for a Mouse, or something. Says our Cats.
But when finnishing this post, Felicia jumped down from the ceiling and want me to go to bed.
