Words Of Logic From An Old-Timer

Comment from a reader on "Enforcement In Residential Areas"

Sb, speaking of motor cycles i notice many like to pass on right side of my vehicle, is ok for me, not for the rider, culture??.

One of many culture idiosyncrasies i've noticed in philippines, (all countries have their own), i think it is not profiling if in good spirit, i think p.i. spent a lot of money on sidewalks, nobody uses them, they prefer walking in the road, cars would be safer to drive on the sidewalks.

I notice when they start a sentence with this starter, "actually" usually not accurate. "see how you are" confirms what you are not. Walking in front of moving car, holding up your hand in stop signal seems to work as well as their stop lites. Most cars from other places stop tentatively on most crossroads to see what happens. Most generally nothing, except honking from a resident.

I've lived in this area off and on for over 60 years, enjoyed every minute of it. All the young girls seem to like me, maybe because i am rich, i get over $1000 a month retirement. (stateside would not pay the rent) how can you gripe about motor cycle noise??

[The Subic Bulletin] If young girls like you then noisy motorbikes don't matter.... that's logic!
