My upside- down world.

Stanger is North of Durban

Kelso is South of Durban

Stanger Railway station is 78m above sea level

Durban Metrorail yard is 27,5m above sea level

Kelso Railway station is 6m above sea level

Stanger is located on a higher level than Durban

Kelso is located on a lower level than Durban

Unequal train numbers depict “Down” trains

Equal train numbers depict “Up” trains

“Down” trains, (unequal numbers), are running from Durban to Stanger

“Up” trains, (equal numbers), are running from Durban to Kelso

Therefore we are going, (uphill), down North to Stanger in our “down” train

And, (downhill), up South to Kelso in our “up” train

Therefore North is down

And South is up

Low is high and high is low

?

Does all the above make sense to you?

To me neither, but in order not to be classified as high,

I have to believe all of this that, to me, makes no sense.

Dis nou soos dit gaan, as jy besig is, is jy besig, alweer Live Writer installeer, hierdie keer nie weens ‘n Crash nie, maar omrede ek my harde skyf vervang het met ene wat twee keer soveel spasie het. Hoop ek kom weer hier uit voor die volgende een …

Intussen hou Microsoft se Train Simulator my ook so besig dat ek myself nie kan draai nie. Sal kyk of ek een of ander tyd hier iets kan begin opsit van wat ek met die goedjies aanvang.

O ja, as jy my op Facebook wil soek, ek verstaan daar is meer as een Chris van Wyk, kyk vir die klein blou mouterbaikie…

Lekker alles,

Chris

As jy die laaste tyd hier ‘n draai gemaak het, en gewonder het oor wat van my geword het, ek skop nog sterk, maar het my met onder andere Facebook, ens. besig gehou en na ‘n “hard drive crash” ‘n tyd gelede, het ek vandag eers weer Windows se Live Writer installeer. Hoop om weer goed binnekort te begin opsit as ek kry wat interressant genoeg is om hierdie spasie te haal.

Chris.

Obituary
Common Sense
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has
been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his
birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing
when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life
isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more
than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are
in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but
overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy
charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from
school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding
an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job
they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It
declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to
administer Aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but could
not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an
abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became
contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better
treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't
legally defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can
sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to
realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her
lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his
wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is
survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to Blame,
and I'm a Victim.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you
still remember him pass this on. If not, join the majority and just do
nothing.
