More thoughts on retirement…

Cape Town, South Africa

Peter Taylor, our Cape Town, South Africa blogger wonders:

"I think retirement might be a lot easier for introverts than for extroverts. Introverts take their source of energizing with them into retirement (it's internal). Extroverts leave it behind and have to find new sources (it is external). I can see how that might be quite difficult. Introverts tend to get into personal projects on retirement while extroverts tend to join things or get part time, paid or voluntary, work.

There's an interesting research project in there somewhere :-)"

Q: What do you think?  Is retirement for introverts "psychologically easier" than for extroverts?  What do you base your answer on?  Do you have any personal experience with this?  If so, tell us the story(ies).

The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility

The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility Elena Gorgan The idea of making something that would be halfway between a bicycle or motorcycle and a car is not new; after all, the advantages of such a vehicle would be many for a large segment of the market. In the Czech Republic, inventor, fabricator and full-time pilot Arnold Wagner has been making one such vehicle since the late ‘80s. Since 2009, with a new partner, he launched the  PERAVES CZ  company, and they’ve been putting out these cabin-motorcycles dubbed MonoRacer since then. They probably haven’t sold more than a couple of hundred of them (90 of which were made before the 2009 partnership), but that could change as early as this month. As it turns out, PERAVES CZ has made an electric version of the MonoRacer, called the MonoRacer 130E, and it is now in the process of receiving EU-certification. The MonoRacer 130E is an electric motorcycle with a fully enclosed cabi...

Is this a joke?

 I would like to ask any of my Canadian friends what they think of Trudeau's response to the impending tariffs imposed on Canada by Trump. I mean, I hope most Canadians would be MORE outraged than to simply suggest......... to forgo Florida orange juice and Kentucky bourbon He said: “It might mean checking the labels at the supermarket and picking Canadian made products. It might mean opting for Canadian rye over  Kentucky  bourbon  , or forgoing  Florida  orange juice altogether. “It might mean changing your summer vacation plans to stay here in Canada and explore the many national and provincial parks, historical sites and tourist destinations our great country has to offer.” https://www.newsbreak.com/the-independent-517119/3787648131075-trudeau-tells-canadians-to-forgo-florida-orange-juice-and-kentucky-bourbon-after-trump-s-aggressive-tariff Is this a joke?
