Hello Friends in San Diego

The Pimpernel has had an interesting last six years, plenty of comings and goings. Along the way I have met some very nice and interesting people. I know that some of the people I met still read my writings even though we have not spoken in person in a few years. Only a couple of weeks ago I received a call from a young man who along with his girlfriend and her son had lived with me. He just called to let me know he was okay.

I apologize for not having interesting things to write about everyday. I have been very busy and it takes a lot of time to read all of the news. I want to take this opportunity to thank those of you who I met on the road. Perhaps someday we shall all meet again, in the meantime, lets try and keep up on coming things.

Wired - Forget the Internet of Things: Here Comes the Internet of Cars. Imagine that, being charged more for insurance if you chose to drive yourself rather than let you car drive itself.

Change of subjects. There is a band called Def Leppard, they are an English metal band; but, there is an interesting story that goes with them. Here are two videos to watch and then I will tell you the story.

You might have noticed the drummer, he lost his arm in a car accident. The band refused to play until he learned to play drum one handed. He did. Loyalty still exists. Peace.
