"Kinky Boots" and a Driverless Experience

 

I have a couple of observations from the last week's activities.  I'll start with these very fancy boots spotted at that Habitat for Humanity event.  The theme for their dinner is "Blueprints and Bluejeans" so instead of dressing up in gala clothes, you wear blue jeans or denim and dress that up.  This lady got out the sparkly boots.











I finally rode in one of those driverless Waymo cars.  It went very smoothly and was ever so quiet.  However, there was one incident where another driver changed lanes to right in front of the car causing the car to have to brake.  There was no reason for the lane change so I'm sure that driver  did it on purpose.  The car responded quickly and smoothly and without any hesitation.  I wonder if the Waymo got a photo of the license plate number of that offending car.  I'm pretty sure everything is recorded.

I wonder if they make those boots in my size? Waymo is touching the future of transportation.

I'll pass on the driverless car, Sharon. The Jeans and blueprint event sounds like fun.

Must have been strange to have no one to converse with.

I have never ridden in a driverless car. In fact I don't think we have them here in London at all. Not yet anyway!

I like the sparkle but the boots seem rather ill-fitting.

Happy to report that they can't be found in Stockholm.
