Mon 7 April 2008 - Random thoughts

It was only at the third petrol station yesterday that I found a pump that was working.

Found three ATMs in close proximity all out of order at lunchtime.

Was anybody else listening to the ABC 774 (3LO) news this morning at 7:45am when somebody pressed the wrong button and The Twilight Zone music and Rod Serling’s introduction played over it? Or did I imagine it?

Actually the revamped ABC Melbourne web site is a bit like the Twilight Zone. Can’t find anything anymore.

It’s true, I was incredulous that Myki executive Vivian Miners got a $140K bonus.

They’ve almost finished re-paving Centre Road. I’m not totally convinced it’s an improvement, and who knows how much it’s costing. Evidently red brick is out of vogue, and asphalt with coloured bits is the “Now” look in streetscapes. I do like the plants though.
