Tonight the high-quality entertainment keeps rolling as we listen to the Mike Sammes Singers’ recording of Vespa. The audio is augmented by chroma key footage of stunt-y gals on Vespas to even further up the excitement quotient.
The comments are open, as always, for your Reader Tips.

Best comment about the Obambam’s fake deaf Mandela interpreter was from the SDA post of earlier today….
“Without any training or experience, this guy applied for the job, got the job and fooled people for years by just putting on an elaborate show. The fact that he was standing on stage next to a lot of important people put him beyond question in the minds of most people. Those who really understood that what he was saying actually made no sense were ignored.
….and now we have this South African interpreter doing the same thing.”

Why would anyone draw water, for firefighting, from ANYTHING remotely associated with fuel storage?
I mean you’re counting on systems functioning 100% correctly, all the time. One mistake or screwup, is too many.
Trusting systems this much, is not good. But I’m no engineer……
