Rain drops on roses and ....

One of my favourite things at the moment is my set of blue tooth stereo headsets from Plantronics.


They are called BackBeat 903 and I brought them on line from Amazon after trying to find another set of my other blue tooth headphones, also from Plantronics. Where to buy them

The reasons I like my BackBeats are many, so I'll list a few that leap to mind.
1. I can listen to music (my music) while I'm working , driving the buses.
2. Others cannot hear my music, but they should because I have good tastes.
3. After the first couple of days getting used to wearing them, they are comfortable and I hardly notice them. I can also wear my sunnies (a favourite thing) at the same time.
4. I can stop the music without reaching for my HTC Desire (another favourite thing). In fact, I keep my Desire in my back pack on the bus's dashboard. It is a big dashboard.
5. It has a Poly-Lithium battery and lasts 8 - 10 hours which is about the average shift duration as well, so I can be at home to re-charge.
6. There are NO WIRES. Important thing when turning that big bus steering wheel round and round.
7. The lugs go into my ear holes and don't fall out when I eat or chew gum (sorry Mum) which is a vast improvement on the earbud type of headsets.

At night, I can put them on my Ferengi head and charge them up ready for the next day. :)



I like them so much, I'm thinking of buying a 2nd pair so I can work the longer shifts without resorting to using my older pair of headphones.

They also take phone calls but I don't use my phone while working as that is a big no-no.

Is this for real?

One of the biggest dramas I face is where to put my stuff. Well this Blogger thing may be the one, 'cos it seems to be everywhere, and anywhere, all at the same time, and I kinda like that :)

The Month in Review...just where do these days go?

Since May, my life has been 'on the go'. After the last FP visit, we had another person visit us, with the the same story, but she was much nicer about our woeful financial position, so Dee and I heard her out. We liked her so much that we invited her back next month for another chat. In the meantime, we have put our block of land up for sale...there goes Dee's dream of a new house for the short term. Our plan is to clear our debts with the profit from the land sale, and then start again with a deposit from what is left over. Dee will have completed her two year limbo with the Tax Office and I shall get a better paying job. We clear on that? While all this was going on, my brother-in-law, Pete Clarkson suddenly died back home in Christchurch. The family flew me back home for his funeral and wake. I was then asked to represent Deb and the family in delivering the eulogy. There was volcanic ash in the skys between Australia and NZ but I flew on Air New Zealand and they ke...

Macro Economics - part 1

For many many years, I have had a little statement rolling around in my head. I can't recall where I heard it, but I know it was not an original idea of my own. It goes something like this... A man's weekly wage can buy a bicycle or a good suit of clothes A man's monthly wage can buy a reasonable car A man's yearly wage can buy a luxury car A man's Half yearly wage will allow him to take a family of four on an overseas holiday Three years of a Man's wage could buy a small house/home ...and all this was from 100 years ago. Since then, I have sporadically and randomly searched for this type of reference on the internet but I've come up mostly empty, however I recently read another statement along the same lines, in that an ounce of gold could buy a pound of bread (or about 600 loaves) This has prove to be a lot richer vein to follow, if you can pardon my pun. This thought can be traced as far back as 2,500 years, so maybe after all the wondefull chan...
