I hope to clearly convey my intention, so that you might first notice me—the one who isn't very conspicuous in the crowd. At the same time, your serious attitude made me reflect: do I have the ability and courage to take on the responsibility of the [Observations from a Sandton street corner](https://groups.google.com/g/twowheelerza/c/hP8LaPKTxbc)?
