It never ceases to
ONE of the current bushfires in Victoria has burnt out an area roughly the size of the American state of DC.
And yup, we still "celebrate" ancient European traditions. (finding three local wise men and a virgin is bloody near impossible these days.) We still have to "import" them, and display tableaus representing "Middle-Eastern" values. High value is placed on "Virgins" over that way, apparently, but Parthenogenesis (procreation sans male input) creates a female clone.
Technically, any "Messiahs" produced by parthenogenesis should be female. However, parliament has just voted to allow "therapeutic cloning" so now, with a bit of luck and assiduous science-based research .. some more people will be "saved".

46 degrees?? Bloody hell. It's about half that over here (mid-20s; NE NSW). It really is a big country.
Well, best wishes to you. Stick your head under a tap or something, if there's any water left.
Water?? nah, just close all the curtains, bring the canary cage, boxes of sprouting seeds into the bathroom and .. well, wait. There's supposed to be a "change in the weather" (read thunderstorm) later today.
.. and i also have a very smart cat. It's now stretched out full length on the bathroom floor.
The wind seems to have turned here and clouds are building up.
My sister called me on her way to work yesterday to go and look at the sun. It was a huge orange orb rising through the smoke haze. I did take a photo but you know me and cameras.
talking about images, JT, there is (as usual) a beautiful post on Barista.
Ahh, the power of images.
(and MY post is not actually about the bloody weather.. but never mind.)
