My car has a front radar used in the safety system for Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) but sometimes the system gives a failure warning. I called Mazda USA and spoke to someone in customer relations who says they have no records of this happening to my model or others.
Last month, I dropped the car off for it's first service and told the service adviser about the failures and showed him photos of the warnings that appeared on the dashboard display.
He did a search and said there's nothing in history of this happening to any other vehicles.

Since they need to put the car to a test drive to try to reproduce the problem, I need to schedule an appointment for them to have the car at lease 2 days and arrange a (free) loaner. While I can make arrangements, I wasn't real sure about them being able to find the trouble. For me it starts while I'm on the highway and it's raining happening about 80% of the time.

I spoke to a friend who used to work at a car dealer and he asked "Did you Google it?"

Pretty simple and I found a few Mazda Tech sites where people post questions and get responses from other car owners. I found EXACTLY what I was looking for. It appears on my model and several others current and dating back a few years. Not a new problem.

At this point, I now have the ammunition I need to get back to the dealer for something that should already know about. Making my point, I'll send the service manager some links that explain the issue, with photos so they can get to the source quickly.

Thanks Google!

US ambassador says:
South Africa gave weapons, ammunition to Russia for Ukraine war


When confronted on this his reaction was:
US ambassador to South Africa apologizes for Russia arms sales comments stating, “I was grateful for the opportunity to speak with Foreign Minister Pandor this evening and correct any misimpressions left by my public remarks. In our conversation, I re-affirmed the strong partnership between our two countries and the important agenda our Presidents have given us,” said Brigety.


The damage was done.

Now the onus lays on SA to prove that they are innocent or not. This is the manner in which the West (USA) operates.

These allegations have cased our currency to drop and that influences imports etc and filters right down to the man in the street having to dish out more for basic necessities.

This is how the USA punishes nations that dare to cross them. (SA has taken no sides in the Ukraine war)

Afghanistan, Iraq, and all the rest of the countries they so readily invaded know their MO.

How is this justified?

With Halloween around the corner, will there be trick or treating in your area ?

We don't celebrate it much here but we have a yearly pumpkin carving contest in the company. I won last year's contest so it's kinda tough carving something more interesting for this year's entry. I finished one last night, not too bad, not expecting to win again but had fun carving and slicing my fingers last night. Not a good idea to drink alcohol while carving pumpkin! Winner will be announced this Friday.


Happy Monday !

I have been home for one day, and I am already planning my next USA trip. At least in my head. My next trip will be two weeks, but I am unsure if I want to go back to Virginia, or if I am going to go somewhere else. Maybe I can find a hotel somewhere, which won't break my bank balance. I saw one hotel called Hotel Washington next to The White House, but it's quite.. Expensive..

So I will look into finding a cheaper hotel somewhere. The idea of a motel came into my mind, but I quickly ditched that idea. Too much Criminal Minds, I suppose.

I do know that I want to visit other states than Virginia. Maybe visit all the states, if possible. The United States of America is a big country, so I doubt it'll ever happen. Mainly because I waited so long to visit for the first time. Maybe I'll just save up for a few years and take a full month in the USA, and either fly, take the bus or the train to see as much as possible. I also want to see some history, if there's anything left, anyway .

In any case - I am not finished with the USA. At all!

Today from CNN;

Many years ago, I took a cheap serrated blade steak knife and used it for cutting watermelon. To accomplish this, I curved the blade. The plastic handle cracked last month. I when shopping for a replacement at the dollar store... where things are $1.25 now.

Times change and the steak knives they now carry, have a straight edge. No problem, so I bought two. I opened one package, washed it and was amazed at the quality of the knife.
Stainless steel with a moulded handle. It cuts much better than the other steak knives and I plan to go back and get a few more.

It cuts like a knife, but it feels so right!




The old knife served me well...


Seedless round melon

I just got done watching this live one minute ago. Terrific !

“Old story new: the poor share the same greed as the rich, whole world is founded on slavery; while the poor complain over richness of others who doesn’t deserve it, they inherit the same greed, for most of all would do the same, under such circumstance of changing their lifestyle, or just advancing on social classes; one more thing which indicates the same greed, is the obvious fact that only under certain conditions, the poor ones, help eachother, as in rest, the poor become poorest, trapped in the same desires, passions, lusts, endless dreams and fictitious hopes for the better. It was always, this way; just that the recorded history, is not properly preserved, or better said, it is fixed, modified, from a generation to another, to hide the royalty under a sea of lies. A generation comes and learns about heroism, which is nothing but rape, theft and murder – masked under different laws, in which all are permitted under special circumstances, - hidden from the sight of the world and thus lies weaving the new clothes of presenting the kingdoms and empires, the princes and the queens, the emperors and their conquests. Heh! So laughable, when to think over such idea of education, which is nothing else but indoctrination, dictated by the ruling classes, by those assigned to overwatch all what happens into the territories drawn over the chessboard on which all with power of decision, to move the pawns wherever it matches the players, wherever is suitable for the variant of the game. Learning about the criminals of the world, has been a fashion, till decades ago, when all started to collapse, already, as if children in schools had a click somewhere in their hearts, to just reject the charade embalming the presence of history at their class; slowly by slowly, the tyrants will be forgotten, as they are replaced by the new ones, trained and formed upon the new, modern system that has been built in the same purpose, of reviving the old Babylon. Where there is no need anymore, to remember the birthdays of the royalties, their battles, their conquests, their registers with dates, wealth, or countless wording, all are being left to oblivion, - the new replacing the old, empowered this time, to rule, to conquest, to subdue. Human ego, rooting to evil. Nothing new, under the sun. Just that the methods of control, have been perfected to new levels, up to even people embracing openly their prison, worldwide, - even demanding the chains, the imprisonment; it is indeed, the world all have built, upon the same precepts and laws, the same inventions and theories, the same lies to be spread widely and as much as it should until the core of deception to merge with the human being who lost along its path any form of real perception. But that is until Reality strikes. For with each wave, the chains of the people are felt more and more heavier, as the years passing, and social classes melt into a unitary whole awaiting the trial, with each echo, the despair of the world splits the earth and the sky, and then, the richness is felt like a damnation as much as poverty, the life becomes meaningless for both rich or poor and nobody, anymore, seems to find a relief, while the world leaders chat in vain for a union of all, under one banner, in the affairs of a state, in the hope of an empire and a promise of immortality, - blinded, of course, trapped in a waving of deceit, to lead mankind in its trials. Barely if someone, to be found here or there, to think upon how a brick is made. Barely if someone to really understand that God watches the hand of a little girl molding clay in the heat of the sun, and for her sufferance, still spares the world to not be devoured by hungry beasts. How much weights a simple, common brick?! It weights as much as the greed of an entire world. “

“While people’s stupidity goes on an on with praising royalties, worldwide massacres unveil the greed of mankind. History is being re-written with each generation that passes, for a new learning period in which the worthy scholars wearing the heroism banners further with concocted fairytales to enchant the blind masses, so as in ancient times theatres fully operational, preparing the waves of the culture of lies about to be spread from one corner of the earth to the other, to places in which rhetoric conquer the minds of the clever ones, poetry and writings to spoil the desires of both rich and poor, while painting to depict even grotesque ranked to eulogy. And this is how history is made, for the likeness of the crowds, embalming them with nice little stories of conquest which are far away of reality depicting treachery and murder, - here is how the heroism is born, out of theft and rape, saturating the greed of royalties and the blindness of the masses too large to recognize what’s obvious under a deeper look with the horse glasses in the shelves of the academia, - here is how the banners of civilization were risen, through the massacres done by the rulers beset by the state of action, through the same lineage of those Scribes and Pharisees from the old Judaism condemning Christ, which by their genealogic chain spread their branches in secrecy, through sects and secret societies to dictate the edicts of lawlessness and governance over the world. One could be amazed, to find a whole labyrinth of endless lies depicting history, if not shocked of how much evil could mankind conceive until boasting these days with its inventions; just that these stories, are not to be told openly, but just whispered to the ears of those understanding the foundation of this world, for in rest, nothing is really permitted or rightly said, allowed, and slices of the truth, if there are, being grabbed in hurry and just thrown to ludicrous. It becomes insanity, for the commoner, to even mention of these paths of finding what’s really going on with this world and with the people, as while everything is on the verge of collapse – even the society itself – and thrown by a controlled demolition to Anarchy, the dream for a better sight is widely spread, nurturing the idea of progress and evolution of mankind. In a world in which truth is truth only when comes out of the mouth of the state, through the edicts of governance and laws made-up over night and presented as valid in the early morning, everything that can be said, is to be called non-sense, - or in the modern context – misinformation, misleading. In a world in which truth is valid only from the expertise of academia, everything else is just thrown to the garbage bin of the modern terminology in a wording gamut called theory of conspiracy. In a world in which the actual truth is suppressed by any means possible, being replaced with a surrogate who can not be even challenged, under the premise of fact checking, it is imperative to silence, even when allowed to speak, for a counted time in the hourglass, as who’s invited to speak freely, it becomes like the culpable brought to the scaffold awaiting the executioner’s sword. It is more simple, to just show a brick, to the honorable ones treasuring lies and deceit, for none of them don’t know truly what is made of. It is enough to just indicate the angles of a brick, to the pitiful ruling classes, to let them know why masonry hits the corners of the Law. It is enough to use a scutch hammer with two combs on each side and leave some marks on a brick, to just show everyone else among the listeners that they barely if scratched the surface of what’s truly going on into their world, the earthly kingdom of the insane… “
