Robot Mistake??? Richards Bay

Richards Bay is notorious for these type of mistakes as these two drivers has learned. According to by standers the pick up and trailer did not stop at the red light. As with any accident there is always victems and injuries. It is sad that a Sunday needs to end with so much pain and twisted metal.

We call upon all drivers sharing the roads to be carefull for the motion dectection intersections all around town. This accident send a lady to Hospital and left her small car all twisted and bended. We hope there is no serious injuries and that she will be home soon.

One of the more impresive specimens

Botanical: tarchonanthus camporatus
Common Name: Camphor bush
Style: informal upright style
Grower: Alan Ferrairis

Tidous and time consuming as this hobby need loads of love and energy to sustain a continous growth for many years. This is like getting married and having children.

Some trees are grown from seeds, some from cuttings, but the ultimate is to relocate a struggling loaner from the raod side, a working quary or an old ruine.

This is something you can do from young until you are retired in an old age home. Very little start up money is needed since evrything is done with minute quantities.
