Cars and pain

Had a friend over for lunch today. Hadn't seen him since last year, so it was a lot to catch up on.

That he is a fan of cars is an understatement. Today, again, I had to oh and ah over all the pictures he'd recently taken of his own cars. Me, who has never own a car in my life. But it was ok, he only has like ten cars so pretty quickly done. I was more interested to hear about the new speed-boat he just transported to Zürichsee. I even offered to help him clean it when the weather gets better. Of course with an ulterior motive :).

Then we talked about illnesses and he got an in-depth description of my recent root-canal :) and I was informed about the shoulder problems he has and that he has decided not to do a shoulder op, since it would prevent him from driving a car for weeks. For me it was the pain that was the reason to do the op. For him car driving is more important than pain.

I guess we're all different, even though the guy in the car downstairs seems to be a little bit more different than the rest of us.
