I don't know about you, but...

I yearn for the brake of natural consequences to slow the spinning of a world that has been pushed to the brink by the reckless (and feckless and deadly) pushing and shoving of a coterie of very bad actors.

And so, as I pedal across Lotusland each morning, I find myself cheering on the ever rising petrol prices that are visible on the big boards at the bright and shiny cluster of gas pumps at Oak and 25th.

Yesterday, the big boards blinked out $2.13 a litre.

Which gave me a little thrill of consequence realized.

Until.

I also realized that I, too, was starting to spin.

Butchered header and subheader?...This!
