I'm Back

I've actually been back for a few days, but I may have mentioned somewhere that I'm lazy, right?

I did about 5800 km all up. Spent $380 on petrol. I like stats. I have more but you're bored enough with those two :)

I have a question though...

The speed limit it 100km an hour because that's what's safe, right...

But the metric system was invented in the 1700's, I think. And became official about the late 1800's (I did research). In those days nobody really thought about driving around at 100km/hr.

So what if the french guy who invented the meter had actually decided that it was a bit bigger than it now is. What if it was about a meter and a half long? Would our speed limit not be 75km/hr (I think that's right, but my maths is a little shakey...) or would it still be 100km/hr because 100 is a nice round number in the metric system...

I was just wondering.

Since my holiday finished (though I don't go back to work till next week) I Haven't done much at all. Bought a new stereo-- which is wonderful after using a stupid portable thing since forever. Did some reading, which I haven't done for ages. No writing-- damn it.

My synopsis and sample chapters have been out there for about a week now and I should be making sure the rest of the story is ready to go. If not that, then I should be working on the sequel. Or thinking about the next story, seeing I'm close. I still can't decide which one to do-- I've changed my mind about 2 dozen times recently. I have the "religious warrior joins the opposition" story. Or the "vet finds a saddled dragon in the bush story". The vet (as in someone who treats injured animals, not a vetran) one has only come about recently. But I really need to finish the sequel first...

And I should be doing that, not typing on here.
