Re: REM Stream Log - I was cycling to work...

I was cycling to work on Friday morning as usual choking my way through the city traffic fumes. I've really noticed how smelly the air has become in recent years and the VW revelations have gone some way towards explaining this. So much of the effort that has gone in to cleaning up the air quality over my lifetime has been undone by the dash to diesel. Even though I live in a smokeless zone and I'm not allowed to burn coal or wood, I live a few yards from a busy road with endless vehicles pumping out their unwelcome emissions. I could rant like this all day– it must be my age. I pulled up behind a particularly smelly double decker bus and I was just wishing that the large scale adoption of EVs would get a move on so my lungs can get some relief when a song came into my head and it has stayed there It occurred to me that this should be the Remmies' anthem -Together in Electric Dreams by Philip Oakey. OK it's a bit of an earworm and it's been driving me mad ever since, so apologies if the very mention of it lodges it in your mind on a continuous loop, but I think the title pretty well sums up the situation (addiction) of the faithful long termers here.
