Nothing is impossible.
A few hundred years ago, flying was said to be impossible and yet, a mere 70 years after the invention of true flight, we have been to the moon and back. We are bound by unproven theories and laws, compiled by ‘clever’ people, telling us that certain things are impossible. The fact is that if we don’t know how to do something (yet), it does not mean it impossible.
Theories and natural laws are mostly around because nobody could prove them wrong to date, not because somebody proved it correct. Not even Albert Einstein’s relativity theory is beyond doubt. In a few hundred years, we may laugh at his folly. Look how long we believed that the earth was the center of the universe and Sir Francis Drake had to sail around the world to prove that the earth was round.
So, follow your dreams and don’t be bound by conventions and theories. Conventional thinking gets you nowhere. Explore the unknown and think laterally. If not for that, we would still have been in the Stone Age, living in caves. If brave people did not stake their careers and reputations – even their lives – to challenge the impossible, we would have been nowhere today.
Something is only impossible until somebody figures out a way to do it. Everything that we do today was once thought to be impossible.
Have a great day and don't try to move mountains; it is impossible.

We had a similar problem on our Chapman's Peak Pass and many times in winter this beautiful scenic drive had to be closed for long periods but it seems that they have addressed the problem now.
Good day to you!!!!
I think most mountains have a different composure than that. But then you have been to Africa and have probably seen some of our more imposing ranges.
The mountain man will move with the mountain. He will never be over the hill.
There was a time I believed everything is possible. Now I don't want everything to be possible anymore, I just want some things to be certain...
ps: your closing statement contradicts your intro
Brr! Do you know how cold that water is? That is the Benguela Current straight from the Antarctica!
That pic was taken at Blaauberg Beach. Six km straight on you can see Cape Town and Robben Island is about 4 Km to the right.
The only certain thing in this world is:

right now i'm certain that i don't have an answer so certainly i'll get back to you later hahaha
Thank you and welcome to my blog!
Yes it does. That is why I was rolling on the floor.
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Change
It can leave you feeling
Actually, the meaning of the word 'certain' is not always certain.
I have not seen you for ages. How is life?
I am quite certain that the bottle of Grand Cru I put in the freezer earlier is nicely chilled now.
No, never!
The mountain man is the keeper of the mountain and thus moves with the mountain.
You know that you're always welcome. My blogs cannot be hijacked. They evolve.
I think you have just invented a new phobia. The fear of being left behind.
This reminds me of a saying in Wisconsin: "If you don't like the weather here, wait 5 minutes and it will change". That can be very true here in the winter. Brrrrrr.
Cat, better check the Grand Cru.
Same here in Cape Town. We often get all 4 seasons in one single day.
I find trouble is always around the corner...a possibility...but we can change the odds...lol...
Alfred Nobel was in arms manufacturing and did not stumble across dynamite by accident; he knew exactly what he was doing, so to me his remorse - after he attained fame - is somewhat theatrical. But he cannot be held accountable for what others do with it.
Dynamite, like many other dangerous substances, do have peaceful applications. His invention was a great advance and the mining sector would have been far worse off without it.
Yes, you can change the odds significantly by sticking close to me. I'm a trouble magnet and when I cannot find any, I make my own.
Too funny...a trouble magnet!!...lol...
I want you to show me how to use broomstick to shove a kg of soft butter up a flea's azzhole and then you come back to tell me nothing is impossible. I don't expect to see you back soon if you are going to take up my challenge.
I'm going to report you to the SPCA. You are encouraging me to be cruel to animals.
You are really a funny woman.
Or do you have an ulterior motive?
I grew up in Parow, I lived there for another 10 years and I have a lot of friends there. I go there quite often and know a lot of people there. I had a look at your profile and quite frankly, you could be any of a thousand people. On the other hand, if previously you had another name on CS, I think I know exactly who you are.
Anyway, I am off to Lala Land now.
And Z, when you are done moving your mountain, what is next?
A very truly realistic yet interesting blog Cat...
It's impossible for a person to learn how to speak Afrikaans at the age of my Dad's. Move mountain might be possible from generation to generation ...
Thanks. Believing what is said to be impossible is the biggest stumbling block standing in the way of progress.
