Far East Cynic

Walkabout

I was out and about today. Went walking in TaiTam park which was interesting to say the least. I was really out by myself and it gave me a chance to do some thinking. No resolution of sorts but time well spent. It is also amazing to me to see a quiet park right in the middle of a busy area such as Quarry Bay. Maybe it is just me but I find that fascinating.

Gotta run to dinner but I thought I would pass along this little tidbit from this morning’s paper. Seems the police here no longer do physical fitness tests because on person who failed the test filed an EEO complaint because  the times for women on the run were slower than for the men. Amazingly enough the complaint was upheld. So the SCMP had a cartoon with two cops munching on donuts joking about not having to take the test.

Too bad that logic will never find its way to the US. Guess the feminist lobby is not as entrenched over here.

Gotta run…….. 

  1. 1. Glad you found a peaceful oasis. Such places are a real joy when discovered.

    2. Hope that your find their way near a bookshop, or two.

    3. Any profession/career/Military service……one standard for all…not able to measure up to said standard…look elsewhere. Only the best qualified accepted. Don’t like it, don’t let the door…….etc.

    P.S. A shame that your camera appears to have been too busy to accompany you on this walk. 🙂
