Roadblocks are not that common in and around joburg where I live. But when the metro (traffic) police get off their arses and do something, boy do they go all out! About half of the staff at the company where I work took over an hour longer than usual to get to the office. Makes for a bad day all round.
And the reason? A roadblock. Closing two of the three lanes of road directly off a major national highway offramp. The purpose? Catching some folk who haven't paid their traffic fines, and pulling of a couple of unroadworthy taxis ... Now the taxi's I can understand, but not in peak hour traffic at one of the busiest offramps in the province!
I wish someone would hurry up that commercial teleporting technology! Would make for many much happier employees.

Ah, commercial teleporting! How I wish! I live in the mountains, and miles and miles from metropolitan cities...teleporting would be so wonderful!
Thanks for popping in on my blog! I, too, sometimes find that I've nothing to write about unless I've just written (as if it gets the writing juices flowing, somehow!). I ought to carry a little Palm Pilot or something to jot down ideas when they come to me and I'm not at the PC.
Best,
Peg
Hi Alex,
I'll be available for trials if they want to test teleportation. Well, after I have volunteered my four children, wife, in-laws, three brothers, four sisters, my bank manager, certain people at work, all the neighbours with powertools and most taxidrivers, in no particular order.
I'll come browse around every now and then, see if you keep to your promise. :)
