Jemima Packington divines the future by interpreting asparagus. She calls this the art of Asparamancer. She throws the asparagus in the air, and where they land tells her the future. Using this method, she claims to have correctly foreseen Brexit, Prince Philip's death, Theresa May's resignation, and the Queen's death.
The latest thing that the asparagus have told her: "King Charles will take a step back, due to his age, and make William Prince Regent."
The problem of dooring
Greg sent in this, from Auckland Transport, explaining the red paint on Tamaki Drive. "The paint was applied to the cycleway to encourage cyclists to leave a 'buffer zone' in the areas where the cycle and traffic lanes directly adjacent, with little separation. This buffer zone is to prevent dooring from occurring, where vehicles parked in these areas can open passenger side doors into oncoming cyclists through inattention. This was a key concern raised from the consultation during the design phase of this project." Yes the yellow lines mean no parking or possibility of dooring. Further around Tamaki Drive where you can park there is no red paint. Great bit of engineering.
