West Gate Bridge
When the partially complete West Gate Bridge collapsed in October 1970, thirty-five people were killed when one of the box-girder spans collapsed while the bridge was under construction.
The West Gate Bridge workers were a highly unionised workforce. Safety concerns over the construction method of the bridge, and disputes over workers'...

Thunderbirds Are Go
5....4....3....2....1, Thunderbirds Are Go
Thunderbirds was a British science-fiction television series created in the mid-1960s by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. The novel part of this show is that the characters are Supermarionation puppets. Often if you looked closely, you could see the strings.

Be done with it
I have been doing some speed writing tonight. I had a busy day at work, and my wife and I went out to a comedy show this evening. So, I am using the time on the drive home to get my writing done before the midnight deadline.

It has been three weeks since we brought our new puppy home. Though we have had Louie for two years, getting used to a puppy again is another challenge altogether. However, only ten weeks old, Otis is already settling into his new surroundings well.

Big brother
When I was growing up, I enjoyed being one of five siblings in the family. I always had someone to fight with, three brothers and one sister, even though it was never too serious.
As the youngest siblings in the family, my twin brother and I were born ten minutes...

The MX -5 is a better car
The Honda S2000 is an open-top sports car manufactured by Honda from 1999 to 2009. It was an incredible feat of engineering. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine revved to 9000 rpm and was mated to probably the best gearbox ever installed on a production car. It put a smile on many...
Write now, publish later
The next few days being busy will put a bit of pressure on me to get my writing done. So I will need to plan and put some words in the can, ready to be posted when needed. It begs the question. If I write something today and keep it...

Nostalgia
Nostalgia is another reason why the early Mazda MX-5s hold their value. Since I sold my white 1991 NA model in 2013, I have had a hankering to get another NA back in the garage. If you wonder why I sold the NA, it was sold to make room for...
