I'm turning 76 in May, and I've received notice that I'll need a yearly medical test in order to drive. Since I live on a bush track way out of town I need the old Toyota to get around. However, if this "check" ultimately involves injection of anything, ingestion of any pharmaceutical or removal of any body part...I simply won't be driving.

Certainly, I won't be arguing with any doctors. Nor will I be impolite. My recent experience of a bush skin parasite which led to my only contact with the profession in the last decades has confirmed my suspicion that the experienced and knowledgeable country doctor does not exist, if he ever existed. I'll be back on the bike and the trike. As well as having good friends for neighbours, I guess I can still walk 20k in a day (with pack). We'll see.

My thanks to Mike Yeadon and others for helping me feel less isolated. Even the best of my friends and family, far better people than I, have their heads full of virus spooks. No matter how comical the illustrations of pink/green/purple monsters with suckers or tentacles - as if we have to be mocked as well as jabbed - these excellent folk believe and react as desired. Why God made my far more sceptical than those sceptics who deny God's existence is a mystery.

Thanks for helping me stay firm.
