Time waits for no Man

Einstein said that Time waits for no Man. Well, if he didn't then he should have. As time certainly doesn't wait around at all. I haven't seen my friend Adam for quite a while and we met up yesterday. What was really interesting about that meeting is that Adam felt, that as a regular reader of the Blog he had in fact kept in touch. Which is quite cool as he is not one of the two listed followers, and I didn't have to spend a lot of time bringing him up to date with what is happening in my life at the moment. Well answers on a postcard there then, as not much is happening at home or in work. Even the studying has been put on the back burner for a while. Especially with Christmas looming and the demands of the 'n' gauge railway build. But the Blog readership is good news, as Adam's declaration means that the Blog now has three Followers and 3 is my lucky number. Well, it ain't quite as lucky as the number 4 but then again that is another story. I suppose Luck, like Time plays an important part of everyone's life. And if it's not time, then it certainly is timing. You only have to look at President elect Barack O to work that one out. But while the United States Elections drew everyone's attention across the World, back in Africa another election was about to take place. The Billboards in Accra displayed lots of pictures of the potential candidates in what would appear on face value to an outsider, to be a system of personality politics. But my conversations with others showed that this was not the case and the election was about who would be best for the Country and why? The Ghanaians embraced their election long before Barack made voting popular. The number of voters was even reported in the UK on the Ceefax and Teletext systems. Lots of text there then; but I wonder what the winners lucky number is? And if that number and the timing of their candidacy had anything to do with the outcome?
