Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Two days ago, I intended to write about Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance as it was the birthday of the author of that book, Robert Pirsig (he was born in 1928).
The book (out in 1974) described the author's motorcycle trip across the US while discussing philosophy.
Robert Pirsig with his son Chris on their trip - there was lots more philosophy compared to motorcycle maintenance
It was a bestseller and a monumental piece of work. My human read it when he was younger in his first year of undergrad, when it had already done the rounds amongst the earlier sets of students of years past, and he told me he was stumped about half way through with Phaedrus (the other narrator) and couldn't finish it. I suppose I better read the book and then explain it to him.

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........
Nothing to report today. It was a warm day (21 degrees Celsius - my friends in hot tropical climes will be exclaiming 'you call that warm?') so the heater didn't need to go on when my human got home after work.
