It snowed today in Paris. Nice thick snow although it only lasted for the day. When I was young it used to snow for most of the winter, now everybody is surprised and excited when it snows for a day. The relative rarity of snowfalls in Paris also means that we are not as prepared as we use to be. I had to go to Boulogne (in the close suburbs) to see a client this morning and I would normally use an electric scooter (the motorcycle kind or as a fall back the kick scooter kind). However all the scooters were switched off due to "weather conditions". It really annoys me when people make safety decisions for me why can they just give an extra warning when you take the scooter and let you make your own decision. I find micro-management highly annoying and intrusive whether it be by companies, by the state, by my employer or at home. On the plus side it gave me an excuse one of the new electric cars (the Citroen Ion) that are replacing the now defunct autolib and I really enjoyed the service. The cars are much nicer than the old ones and its the same system as the scooters: You find a car, click on your app and off you go and then you can park it anywhere when you arrive.
I don't understand why anybody chooses to won a car anymore in big cities.
