waitingmanNo personal news I might have could compare to what our northern State of Queensland is going through right now... & what it will go through in the next 48 hours.
The imminent arrival of Cyclone Yasi has generated all sorts of media reports, opinions & flights of fancy ~ including this... which, rather far-fetchedly imposes the Category 5 cyclone on other parts of the world, to show its size & potential for destruction. Pure Bad Science fiction, but of interest nonetheless.
Remember the floods in Queensland a couple of weeks ago?? Seems nobody wants to let the Government tax us for the rebuilding of essential infrastructure... & a peculiarly Australian kind of anarchy is on the rise... according to Ross Gittins of the Sydney Morning Herald anyway...
Compared to all that, the hot'n'humid weather in Sydney that turns my workplace into a sauna & me into a sweaty, ill-tempered wretch, is hardly worth mentioning.
What a year it's been... already!!
