TRAVELLING

http://thegoatthatwrote.net/
Hiking with a punk attitude. Lot of detail and stories from a former musician who now spends a lot of time walking around the world. Great pictures and some nice informed cynicism.

Bubblers are important and one of the only free things the State supplies. Make sure they don’t take them away.

I love walking and despite any number of Bruce Springsteen songs about the car it has turned out be one of the greatest (if necessary) evils of the last 100 years. All overseas trips should be 20% car or bus and 80% walking, otherwise you aren’t really seeing anything. Walk more. Pedestrians Rule!

The title says it all. Make motorists responsible.

SHOPPING

a diverse collection of records, CDs, VHS tapes, DVDs, books and maybe (one day) clothes and collectibles. Friendly service and honest. I’m biased. This site is run by my wife.
