Blessed Buses

I apologize that I wasn't able to post yesterday. It so happened that I had to go to Sai Kung, New Territories, Hong Kong. I had to bless a new minibus that will from today, transport people between Sai Kung and Kowloon.

Minibuses, dear reader, need lots of blessings. They usually carry discontented passengers who complain about the speed at which the driver drives his small piece of metal. The driver is discontented because the cops give him or her tickets for speeding, and therefore hurt their business. Were he or she to obey driving rules and traffic laws of Hong Kong, he or she can't make a living because the fuel prices are extraordinarily high in Hong Kong. The government of Hong Kong hikes prices of oil in the form of extraordinary taxes. And he or she needs to make as many trips as possible to cover their basic expenses.

And the Hong Kong Government is discontented because it is a eunuch under the sovereignty of China, and perceived as a leftover child of British administration. Apart from land-sales, wine, and tobacco, oil and gas are the only last resorts where the tycoon controlled pimps can make any money.

Now you know why I need to bless the unfortunate minibus for hours.

Let a blessed minibus ignore traffic signals, be invisible to police radars, and run on illegal Mainland China smuggled diesel.

Peace.
