    I think that Moi's point is that water> reafforestation> reduced heat.
    It's a major ask admittedly.

    Reminds me of a gently sardonic joke concerning a tourist who came across a lone aboriginal man living in the Simpson Desert.
    "Why the hell do you live out here?" The shocked tourist asked the man.
    "Lifestyle mate, lifestyle", was the reply.

    I dont believe it weetbix is reducing in size together with other breakfast cereals...and other products
    But the price wont reduce....
    Well pardon me for being old fashioned, but isnt this what is commonly called a rip off?
    But no-one will do anything about it.....will we....
    Why not.....
    Well, you see, we have no guts......and the BBL is on soon......
    Oh and BTW...who presents the story....... a woman....
    Who do they interview...women...and big heaps to that know where McDonalds is.....

    Lovely to see the ABC commence their news to-nite with three stories dumping on men....
    dumping on matias cormann dunno who the big heap was presenting this story
    dumping on craig mclachlan
    dumping on a male fraudster who defrauded a woman
    then the 4th story is presented by some gay dude...isnt he sthweet....,.
    and then they dump on trump...
    then they present a story about a motor vehicle accident and a cop sitting on the footpath counting money...great look Constable...great look.....
    And then during the evening, Im sure we will be told these brilliant ideas....
    drink plenty of water when its hot
    dont go into the water if the surf is dangerous
    dont drink and drive
    and what ever you do, look both ways when crossing the street...
    NOT A THING about the apostate in Bangkok..cant upset muslims
    NOT A THING about Jon Benet Ramseys killer admitting the murder...
    Yeah.....the dumbing down continues....

    I avoid everything by not watching anything but Netflix and Stan. Except for Four Corners coz that's pretty good.

    I know all about the dangers of surf, I won't take a bath if dangerous swells are expected.

    I sometimes wonder just who is to blame for the massive debt crisis Australians have atm.
    I know many people have more than one credit card and theyre all maxed out, and thats a problem if the card holders have no self discipline......although the banks are to blame for making the offers in the first place .....
    But when I see big screen televisions advertised by certain people with a pay no interest clause, and pay back over 50 months I often wonder if this is just business, or is it the greed of those making those offers.
    When one considers that these blah blah boxes are probably bought by the retailer for a hundred bucks
    and then sold for 2-3 grand...the retailers have a lot to answer for....
    And of course, the very same retailers have the same offer for other merchandise...
    Personally, I hope that a particular retailer goes broke one day....I wont shed any tears....

    What did the old timers do when it got so hot?

    I have known several different desert people who keep a toddler pool and
    in the super hot weather, roll in it and let dry to cool down.




    This wouldn't happen if you agreed with me and got the Great Australian Lake going.
    Wind.
    Solar.
    Musk.
    Desalinate and pipe a vast quantity of water to the interior that would modify your weather as well as create new ecosystems.

    Damn I knew I forgot to do something. Note to self, don't forget to reforest Australia.

    I remember dad and I loading two semi loads of hay in 105 degree heat. We just had to load it a storm was forecast

    Good condition it was worth a few bob, if it got wet it wouldn't be worth 2 bob. (Americans substitute bob with cents)

    I think my A/C is going to give up the ghost.
    I think my dog has some sort of heat rash.
    He's a bluey and very smart, sometimes a smartarse but that's another story.

    I put him in the shower and he sits there looking at me thinking "I know what you are going to do", all mournful like.
    The door from the shower goes straight through the laundry and outside .
    I turn the shower on for a couple of minutes and then off and close the door quickly. Shake shake shake and I open the door and he is off jumping around the backyard like a puppy.
    He comes over to me sitting under a tree with a half naked slave girl fanning me ... Oh wait I got mixed up with a dream, it must be the heat.

    A wet dog cavorting around drying himself is a funny sight.
    We had a bluey years ago. A friendly dopey mutt whose tail could clear everything off a coffee table with one sweep.
    He could also climb fences.
