Don’t die for Christmas

-Sealandia’s Pots and Kettles

Again eschewing the more profound, the cerebral and analytical, I caution instead those citizens willing to be reasonable, or conservative, for this “Season”.

And it’s because on this past Monday morning I saw a grown male cyclist nearly killed on Mandela Avenue in the capital. From my taxi I saw the fellow swerve out of Norton onto the busy Mandela. The trouble was that he was negotiating his turn with two long planks on his bicycle handles! Mandela’s north-south vehicular traffic was heavy around 9.00am.  The seemingly-reckless road-user did not become a statistic before my eyes, thankfully.  I hope he changes – for his life’s sake.

This background is relevant to my advisory in the caption.
