Little Things and Little Minds

It is the little things in life that bring the greatest pleasure. I heard on the news this morning that they have just published a report on an incident where a trawler crashed into a gas collection platform in the North Sea. According to the report "..the collision occurred when the trawler changed position suddenly". Priceless.

Good news dept. Got season 2 of Babylon 5 from Amazon today. Only got a couple of episodes of season 1 left to watch, so we are talking just in time here... I used the free delivery service for the order, rather than the more expensive overnight option. I've a suspicion (but then I'm a suspicious type) that the "slow" free delivery is achieved by Amazon sitting on your order for a while before shipping it. This reminds me of the introduction of the second class, slow, post. The Post Office had to figure out how to slow mail down so that they could have a second class service...
