Physics

I’ve been a bit slow recently, but I put it down to Newtonian Mechanics…

It still makes me smile when I see the road sign indicating Beware of Camels! On my way into the city I have to travel along some back roads and a long dual carriageway, all surrounded by open land. The local farmers have various herds of camels that seem to just wander freely around theContinue reading “5. Camels and Goats”

3 Flying like lead balloons.

Slowly – lentement Pierre; Cramped corridor reality. “Don’t go to the cludgy on here!” Slowly – lentement. Driving south – just aContinue reading
