WmTrevor,

"....what will we do if there's no sanity clause?"

Well seeing as you put it like that, I can't resist : )

Poirot finds his sensibilities challenged occasionally around here - especially as many of his long-time allies appear to be disappearing into the cyber ether.

Perhaps he'll just waft around a bit and not take things too seriously.

: )

Or perhaps he might like to exercise those little grey matter.

Bazz,

Absolument!...that goes without saying : )

That's just so funny. You guys are comic geniuses!

Bravo!

How can you not stick around Poirot, you cant not be amused by that old one-two.

Houellie,

Actually I meant to include runner's post in my lament.

Besides....I find your posts highly entertaining (and WmTrevors, amongst a few others) - worth sticking around for.

The mayor of New York did some thing 5 day to deal with traffic chaos and oil shortages. Cars have been stopped from entering NY City unless it has at least three occupants. This helped cope with two hour long at wait bus stops and the flooded underground railway with its flooded tunnels and their burnt out electricity systems . Which has stopped so many petrol station from being able to sell the petrol in their storage tanks. God knows what it will end up costing.

That not the real issue. Half the problem with the NY super storm was it was reinforced with ice cold wet winds coming from through Canada via the North atlantic where the arctic ice melt a month before previous month and creating the biggest open sea through which suns the rays penetrate and warm the sea water. There much more moister in the air as consequence which intensifies the cold weather from Canada. Thats why the the warm rain in NY got cold and further flooding 7 states with cold rain. A double whammy , the like of which had never happened before and will only get worse as the arctic ice sheet gets smaller next summer and in future summers with climate change the double whammies are even more damaging on the east of the US. Thank god that Obama employed 2,000 people to look after the victims. As snows has brought so power lines down in the rural areas the threat hyperthermia will kill a lot of older people and that risk has not gone away

Long term urban and coastal planning need to encourage car sharing and more efficient public transport is a practical way to cope with disrupted oil supplies global warming that is underway, mandatory peak hour shared cars could solve road congestion problems in Austraiia by deferring more more freeway and main road construction thus freeing up funds to renovate urban railways and speed up buses on the existing roads they use.is needed in Australia.
