Downsizing
(Preview)
Hi all Nomads, Just thought I'd put it out there that we are moving on from Mount Barker and if any of you in WA are interested in a nice country property, message me.

Another whinge... Computer Savy Elders
(Preview)
I went to a meeting with my bank officer the other day. He was a young whipper snipper of about 25 who told me very patronizingly that he understood how someone my age wouldn't know how computers work and he would explain it simply for me.

Feet on Dashboard.

When I'm driving the Roadtrain my eye-level is around 2500mm from the ground, so when I'm being overtaken, or I'm stopped in traffic, obviously I get a good view of the interior of smaller vehicles.
