This palindromic and good-feng-shui gem had me stretching across the car with my phone to try to capture the moment before it was gone.
It put me in mind of hanging over into the front seat as the odometer on a family car ticked over some milestone, a whole series of nines rolling up into zeroes. Would you say that we knew know how to have a good time, back in the day?
In truth, I guess we did, and the how hasn’t changed much in sixty years, or maybe even in six hundred: Appreciate what’s around us.

11.5 litres/hundred km? You must be driving an SUV! (That’s way worse than my Acura, and way better than my Jag.)

Jim – Guessed it in one. A Kia SUV.
