In this blog I will be trying to get to the truth about what is really important in life, and to write satirically about what is not - all in my quest for The Stuff Reality is Made of.
I also write articles on Religion, History, Travel, Flying, Philosophy, Physics, Meta Physics, Natural History. Mathematics and Psychology.
You can also read my religious articles on our Christian website at www.whatafriend.co.za

Life in the Afternoon - Part 6 - Cry freedom
Life in the Afternoon - Part 6 - Cry Freedom Revamped.
by P.K.Odendaal. 23 October 2011.
I have inserted some disconcerting
paragraphs on freedom in the middle of this article recently.
Part 6 - Cry freedom.
I do not know much about crying and even
less about freedom, but I can see that all over the world people who are
seeking freedom, people who have freedom, and people who do not know what
freedom is, is Crying Freedom. I also Cry Freedom. but why?

Life in the Afternoon - Part 5 - Mapping
Life in the Afternoon - much more than a story of
soaring - and reflections of that on my life by P.K.Odendaal. 23 October 2011.
Part 5 - Mapping.
Joburg ATC : Alfa
Sierra Kilo, no 'known traffic' to affect your flight up to flight level 150.ASK21 (me) : Copied, Alfa Sierra Kilo.
'Known traffic' - yes - that's the keyword and the reason
why I wear a parachute when I fly a glider. If they do not know about traffic
due to some pilot not calling them, it is not 'known traffic', meaning that if
one of these unknown traffic objects hit me in mid-air by chance, it will not
be their responsibility - it will only be me who will be doing the dying. I
know that there are normally, over weekends, other gliders in this airspace who
do not talk to ATC, so I wear a parachute in the not so unlikely event of a
mid-air collision. If you go from A to B, the chances of a mid-air collision
are very slim, but if you linger in one area going up and down and circling, it
becomes a hazard that you must watch out for.
