Visit to Hornsby

I finally decided to try driving again so on Sunday I drove to Hornsby with Trina. It went better in that I was mostly in my lane, only turned on the windshield wipers a couple of times and often though not invariably managed to use my left arm to shift. As far as I know the only police in Australia are the state police. Here that is of course the NSW police. If you click on the police car photo so as to see it full size you will see at the some of the kinds of vehicles they use including a peculiar little truck. There is a hatch on the side of these trucks which is very small and I can't see what they are used for. The brick building is the Hornsby police station. On the whole I think one sees police driving around with about the same frequency as one does in Calgary,

The other two shots are taken inside the mall to which we went. The Woolworths is a grocery store- Woolworths is one of the two main grocery chains. It is a part of the retail conglomerate for which Les works. In the other picture you see a seafood shop on the left with huge mounds of cooked shrimp in quite visible. In the Woolworth picture you can see the chicken shop in front ofit. Even though a grocery store like Woolworths carries everything these small shops still seem to thrive.
