The whole of Cape Town took to the streets on Sunday to witness the 30 seconds of destruction of the cooling towers in Athlone. Watching something destructive like this has the same attraction as medieval executions, a real crowd drawer. They estimated that more people watched the towers than the World Cup Final. Funny how people are?

It did remind me that we all have a set of towers in our own lives that we have built and treasured for years but offer no value to either ourselves or others....
