For a change. [ this is not a political statement. ]

China's net-zero target will boost fight against climate change: Turnbull

Arms and weapons are a double edged sword (pun entirely intended).

The technical innovations that make peacetime life better are almost all a product of sickening levels of military funding.

Add human nature to squabble, bicker, fight over material or perceived objects and wars over territory and resources will always exist and need defending.

Ironically Agenda 21 is all about global alignment, and almost nobody accepts that premise.

I doubt any on here will live to see it all sorted.

So , a toast to the eccentrics of this world, may they go forth and multiply! now where is that elixer of life.......

You were a bit late to meet Rick Blaine at Rick's Bar in Casa though. You know the one, "In all the Gin joints in all the Towns in all the world she walks into mine...... " That one.

Well, you did excavate your back garden.


Yes, wide horizons alright, when looking back over the Gulf from Cultana it always looked really nice in the early morn. Even the smoke drifting from Playford looked nice.

I never found a ****ter that one could admire the view from out the door though.

Are you about to tell me that the Cottage garden is Blooming? BTW, that looks to be really nice country & not what I would have expected for there. I would have expected flat & low scrubby plains.

I know, I should get out more. That is a bit difficult when one's 'er indoors prefers Green & Pleasant & a David Jones on the next corner.
