That's it, Ballito Drivers Suck!

Pardon the straight up bashing, but it's true.

Stop signs. Yield signs. Basic navigation around a traffic circle. Cordoned areas on the road. None of these traffic aids mean anything to the majority of vehicle drivers in Ballito.
I'm astounded by the sheepish behaviour being presented at the traffic circles especially, because no one person will give way to someone else to improve the general traffic flow.
The drivers want to force themselves into the line that is already congested going down to Ashton. I am sure about everyone observed that it is a single lane going down and then split up to a slip lane, straight and right-turn at the traffic light.

I do understand that everyone want to get to work, school or wherever they need to be, but for goodness sake people, have some driver's savvy! It ends up being grid-locked because the people won't give way to the vehicles that can still continue and free up traffic space.

I have been grieved about Ballito drivers for a long time, but this morning was the last bit of my sanity going out the window.

What can we do to save our environment?

Image
Yesterday was National Braai Day  in South Africa and to go with a perfect braai, we had a great sunny day. Unfortunately there was one moment that I nearly lost my mind, just because someone had no respect for the environment. I am sure most persons are brought up to clean up after themselves and keep the environment clean. I went with my parents to Umdloti, which is about 20 minute's drive from Ballito. Umdloti is a  coastal holiday town with a beautiful coastline. An effort is made to protect the environment and dustbins are placed all over the place - no excuse to not get rid of your rubbish in an orderly fashion.

"How comfortable." I thought, sitting in the car thinking about people polluting the area. My thoughts did not have a chance to cool do

Inner Conflict

Image Credit: Inner Conflict - Lady Symphonia @ Deviantart  This is a hard topic to discuss, but inner conflict adds mental bounds to the abilities and capabilities of a human, as one has to overcome several hurdles and make out your own set of accepted rules, and stick to that in spite of what the community will say or how they will judge it. Inner Conflict  emotional disturbance resulting from a clash of opposing impulses or from an inability to reconcile contradictions with realist or moral considerations, a fight or struggle "selves" within one-self. Inner gesture a motion expressing a certain emotion. From:  http://afronord.tripod.com/thr/dict.html Some decisions are made depending on who it will affect, how it will change you and those around you, and whether you think about the changes involved after all. Generally any decision you make, has different levels of acceptability by involved parties - but the catch is that you will never know what that level is exac

Once Upon a Time

What actually seem to be just the other day was about 9 months ago! Today is a public holiday in South Africa and I figured that with the extra day of relaxation I can update some of the places on the web that I hardly get time to visit. So firstly a happy National Women's Day to all the women here in South Africa! One of the first changes I made this morning was the theme of my blog! I did not plan on doing anything like that, but upon login I saw there's a new template designer and I got an itch to scratch. Behold, my new theme :> The only reason for not posting here in 9 months is that work kept me busy. Really busy. I've learned a lot and I still do learn new things every day. The one major benchmark I use to compare myself against is the feed system at work. I recall that it took a lot of time to set up that system. Nearly 2 weeks... It was blood, sweat and tears. No really, it was that big an issue for me :P JEE (Java Enterprise Edition) systems often cause you to
