Thread: Bushfire

Bugger. Stay safe John.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is drowning. Like Ron said, stay safe John.

Woke up this morning everything is shrouded in smoke, but the fire (if the RFS map is to be believed) has not gone anywhere overnight, as expected.

Good news, but who was on fire watch last night?

The hard working Volunteers!

Take care John


Mean while in Vic today warning about bad bushfire and floods over summer made me wonder just a bit!

It can be confusing of course. So I do not over post (as I have already this morning )
Joke here about Confusion

Three nuns die in a car crash and arrive at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter stops them and says, "Sisters, welcome. However, to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, you each must answer a single biblical question."
He turns to the first nun. "Sister Marie, who was the first man created by God?"She smiles and says, "That was Adam."Suddenly, lights flash, bells chime melodiously, and the gates open just enough for her to slip through.
St. Peter turns to the second nun. "Sister Catherine, who was the first woman created by God?"She replies confidently, "That was Eve."Again, the lights flash, the bells chime, and she is allowed to enter.
Finally, St. Peter turns to the Mother Superior. "Mother Superior, since you are the leader, your question is a bit more difficult. What was the very first thing Eve said to Adam when she touched his penis?"
The Mother Superior looks shocked. She blushes, looks down at her feet, thinks for a long time, and finally mutters to herself:

"My goodness, that's a hard one."

FLASH! DING-DONG! The gates swing wide open.

If they're anything like the boots on ground CFA then they are. The bureaucrats in the office, maybe not so much.

......

That reminds me of the time I was driving down to Melbourne on the Hume, long before the freeway.

As I approached Kilmore Gap in sunshine, on the left hand side of the road were several appliances trying to make sure the fire did not jump the highway. In retrospect, I wonder why they had not stopped traffic, although the smoke was (mostly) blowing away from the road.

Come to the crest of the divide in the gap, and it immediately started raining fairly heavily and was still raining and a dreary, miserable day when I arrived home in Kew.
