Viewpoint – Uber and Taxis: Australia Opens the Door to Reforms
Viewpoint describing reforms recently implemented in Australia allowing the taxi industry and ride-sharing applications to coexist peacefully
In the majority of North American cities, existing laws do not control or make any provisions for activities related to ride-sharing applications. As a result, they operate in a grey zone. Like certain European cities, Vancouver and Montreal have chosen to oppose the operation of such services.

Siddhartha and the Wedding Crashers
Flew to Varanasi/Benares. Made it to the Taj Gateway. Unloaded then headed off to the museum at Sarnath then to walk the grounds where Siddhartha delivered his first sermon as Buddha. To commemorate the occasion and mark the spot, a really long time ago, someone erected this “what were they thinking”.
We got back to the hotel just in time to do some touring of the wedding reception in the gardens before the guests showed up
When we walked out we came through this tunnel backwards so I guess we’re divorced now
Tomorrow I don’t have to worry about going back to sleep when I wake up at 4 f**king thirty as we are headed to the Ganges for the sunrise

Yoga with a Yogi
The other half of the sleeping pill worked until shortly after 05:00. Nancy had a yoga session (with some woman who’s name was not Yogi) from 07:30 – 09:00 while I took off for some more Old Delhi fun. Went to the vegetable market where I found some very reasonably priced cauliflowers and the Eunuchs’ penis’s.
Back to the hotel for breakfast and Nancy then off to the Humayun tomb.
Then after we stopped in to see Ghandi’s house we went to the Sikh temple where volunteers feed thousands of people a day using the world’s largest wok.
Dinner out at Bukhara where the specialty was food cooked in Tandoori ovens. The cooks worked behind plexiglass.
It was like a fast food place masquerading as sort of fine dining. In, order, drink beer, eat food and leave in 45 minutes. Go for the chicken, the prawns were weak.
Poll Reveals U.S. Voters are Uninformed About Major Issues What do voters truly understand about policy issues ?
What do voters truly understand about policy issues that have major impacts on society? In the final weeks of 2015, Just Facts commissioned a nationwide poll to scientifically determine this.
While most polls focus on public opinion, this one measured voters’ knowledge of issues that have substantial consequences for Americans. The poll consisted of 23 questions about education, healthcare, taxes, government spending, global warming, Social Security, energy, hunger, pollution, and the national debt.
Overall, the majority of voters gave the correct answer to only six of the 23 questions. This indicates that many voters may be casting ballots based on false views of reality.

Clinging to the bus door, constantly struggling to grab a seat and getting stuck in the back end of the bus and not being able to get off on our […]
Delhi check
Went to the India Gate, check
Then went to some old place and saw some old stuff then went and had lunch and ate some fresh stuff. Then went to Old Delhi
Somewhere shortly after this our bicycle rickshaw guy turned left and right and rinse and repeat then we parked where we went up to the second floor of somewhere so we could cough without drawing attention to ourselves. Everyone was hacking because of all the chili dust in the air.
So then we had to leave so we could get into a traffic jam where Eunochs in bad clothes banged on the windows and demanded money (The guide pointed out they were eunuchs, I recognized the bad clothes on my own)
Out for dinner at Accent of India. Note to self: have to stop booking fine dining the night after we arrive somewhere with a 13 1/2h time difference. Home and in bed to the live band sounds from the wedding reception on the hotel grounds
