The vulnerable alien - an update

I know you've all been hopping with curiosity to see what my broken light referred to in previous entries actually looks like. Do you think it has a bit of vulnerable alien to it?

Maybe it's just when it blinks a bit pathetically that it's more like a living being ...

I now have a Knog Frog and a Hope Vision 1 but am miffed that the Cat-Eye is dead without me even doing anything to it. Do you want the covers from mine?; Sunday, 29 November, 2009
KarmaCycle said...: That's a very kind offer, Muppix - I fear that the bulb bits have been rather damaged and I'm not sure it would hold, even with a newer bit of casing - but thanks very much all the same!
I don't know anything about Hope Vision, but I'm intrigued and will check it out online. Cheers.; Monday, 30 November, 2009

The Cycle of Karma

When you're cycling around 100 miles a week through London, you develop some strange notions. The one I can't get out of my head is that you build up karma - good and bad - depending on how you cycle. So - if you stop at red lights, wait politely for pedestrians, smile at cars, you get rewarded - the next light turns green for you straight away, someone smiles back at you - you get the picture. Of course this doesn't always work, but it works often enough for me to try to cycle by those rules. Most of the time.
