Didn't have problems with invisible pedestrians. I had problems with
invisible pedestrians driving cars.  And at a road construction site,
they had 2 workers dedicated to helping those drivers have the courage
to pass through the site. And I had one stop without warning right in
the middle of an intersection. Had to pass him because he decided he
wasn't moving (and the whole intersection was blocked because of it).

I had forgotten about it. It quickly came back and I was able to laugh
it off.

It is obviously brewed locally in Australia to different
recipe/standard. I guess they figure this is what the Aissie market
wants. Either that, or the irish bar I was in has decided to dilute the
elixir to reduce costs.  But I thought of you and how mad you would have
been if served that watered down Guinness.
