The 'i' Car Is Here!

There are many 'i' cars out there, referring to electric models. For example, the Jaguar i-Pace is a drivers car, with plenty of speed. Using that analogy, here are some suggestions for future models. 

i-Dyllic: For the quiet, peaceful car that wafts us down the road. Most likely a luxury model.

i-Gloo: Suitable for colder climes, where the occupants are kept warm despite external temperatures. May also be popular with hobbyists. 

i-Deal: A model that has broad appeal and has many happy owners. Easy on the pocket too. 

i-Rony: Driven by someone who you would never have imagined would buy that sort of car.

i-Diot: Especially for the motorist who does the daftest things or is prone to holding other drivers up.

i-Rate: Either for those who think they are superior drivers or who easily descend into road rage.

So True

Happiness can't be bought.

Negative thoughts help no one.

Theory can only teach you so much.

Every grave stone is about a life untold.

He who speaks too much forgets his listener. 

We need to love ourselves, but not too much.

Good ideas will not be appreciated by everyone. 

The best leaders are always open to suggestions.

The simple things are missed most when they are lost.

Kindness, even in the face of hostility, is the best response. 

If you do drink, red wine - taken in moderation - is hard to beat.

Song Progressions

Some songs have interesting progressions in them. One is Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett. 

It goes from 

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame But I know it's nobody's fault.....

Then

Hell, it could be my fault...

Finally

And I know it's my own damn fault.

***

Another is by Kiwi group Split Enz in the song One Step Ahead. The progression goes:

One step ahead of you

I have to choose One step ahead of you 

I can only stay One step ahead of you 

Its hard to stay one step ahead of you

Then finally:

She's one step ahead of you.

Here's the song.
