Bounce

This weekend I did a kermesse at Tempe, and redeemed myself by riding quite well, average heart rate of 167, and ending a respectable fourth. I broke clean away from some fairly decent talent.

My father also made the unexpected gesture of offering to give me R6 300 because he'd bought my brother a computer (a laptop most likely) and said it was only fair that I got something too. Well, not sure if I would have found out or plead poverty, but I'm not going to say: "No, thanks, I don't want R6 300." In fact, it's likely that my credit card is going to swallow 95% of that in one gulp.

Been a good weekend. Bought Fransa some stunning clothes and she really looked (in Andre's words 'pragtig') on Saturday, and then went to the Spur to celebrate a good ride, a beautiful girlfriend, the Bokke winning, winning the Lotto etc etc.

Yesterday (Sunday) we cycled to Glen with San Mari, Andre and some other people. Interestingly Jacques Greef rode with us, and he is one of the best and fastest riders in the Free State. So good to be in his company. Am feeling strong, but also have lots of work to do.

Today I got a new mountain of marking to do, all the Grade 11 Economics exam papers. There is so much paper it's actually heavy to carry. About the weight of 4 bibles... Eish.

Finally, if you're still reading this you probably have a viable enough internet connection (and enough time) to watch a downloadable movie even better than Fahrenheit 911:

Go here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2023320890224991194

The video is a one hour analysis of 9/11 and how it is more likely than not that the government was actually behind the attacks. Watch the video and you'll see what looks like an explosion just before the plane strikes the building. I know there is no more World Trade Centre. The question is, how come?

It's possible, but it's an outlandish guess I'll admit, that America wanted a license to start making Imperialistic moves. I know when cowboys wanted to steal indian land, and they needed a license, they dressed up as indians, murdered other cowboys, blamed the indians and then took their lands. Oldest trick in the book?
