“Car pooling surges on social network apps” reads this morning’s headline. Wow, is that a phenomenon that doesn’t now and will never affect me. I guess if you have an office job in Chicago and live in the  suburbs it might, but if you wander around a small town and have no regular schedule, then that sort of thing might as well be happening on Mars.

Today I will take my new motor scooter on its first ride out of  town. We’re taking a loop from Hang Dong to Mae Rim. Lots of curves and hairpin turns. Hope the drivers coming the other way think of the center line as more than a vague suggestion.
