Yesterday we witnessed a motorcycle roar past the bookshop door on the sidewalk ~ we can only guess ~ to escape the traffic.  The construction of the new bridge, the restriction to 30 Km. speed limit, the narrow lanes and the improvements in progress along the highway, all trying drivers' patience.

Last week a friend's vehicle was t-boned and rolled at the intersection beside Foodland.  Unimaginable in a small village where traffic normally moves slowly and  orderly.  Our friend hung upside down dangling in her seatbelt for forty minutes while a passerby kept pressure on her arm where she had an injured artery.  She had to be cut from her vehicle.
