Amen to that!

I'd like to add a brief response to the "Man Made Disaster" article below. Our journey from Kiotari to Rhodes Town is downright dangerous after dark these days. My friends from Kalathos recently hit a rain-filled pothole, which burst their tyre and damaged the car's tracking. The driver is in his 60's and had to get out in the drizzle and dark, then change the wheel among the mud and bollards while other drivers thundered by in the way that Greeks do! It cost them a lot of money for a) a new tyre, and b) to have the tracking fixed - which entailed yet another trip to town as there's nowhere down this part of the island which can do tracking since the place on the main road in Arhangelos closed recently. I work on tourist excursions during the summer and I've found myself apologizing one time too many over the coach's microphone when we've become ensnarled in yer another dead stop in a contra-flow. It's not rocket science to complete one section of such a project at a time, is it?
