The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Driving Overseas

We have seen Dr Tracey Koehlmoos before.  In this blog post she says farewell to her husband, Colonel Randall Koehlmoos, who died in a traffic accident in Jakarta, about a week ago.  He was coming home from the gym.

The title of the blog post is "ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES—FAREWELL TO THE COLONEL".  The striking quote is:
Despite being home to less than 50% of the world's motor vehicles, low and middle income countries have 90% of the mortality burden for road traffic accidents.
That is a lot of wastage of life.  It is 1.3 million deaths a year and 20 to 50 million injured and possibly disabled.
