I thought that was me finally getting the car washed yesterday ...

Of course the rain stopped as soon as I got out my umbrella.

I think we can all stop worrying. Our politicians have launched 'Water: A Time for Prayer' which kicked off yesterday at St Stephen's Cathedral in Brisbane.

So unless this God dude is a complete cnut, it should start raining shortly.

We now have an occassional drizzle in sydney, but I blame that on
sweeping down my back deck to get it ready for its biannual re-oilling.

Then again, maybe he's appealing to all those Family First supporters. Maybe that's not so dumb afterall. I wouldn't be very liked as a politician. If I were premier, I'd use a lot of Beattie's tactics - culling mainly.

I'm finding Family First a great source of amusement. The local
candidate wrote to the paper saying there's no point in a long term plan
for traffic (state govt just announced one), we should be working on the
current problems or else by 2008 people won't be able to drive their
kids to school. Move along people, no sign of intelligent life here.

Rather than amusing, I find that sort of **** infuriating. I'm assuming you wrote a letter to your local paper in response to this, yes?

The letter was so completely stupid I couldn't credit it with a reply.
If it was less stupid I might have bothered (and have on quite a few
other occasions).

You'd get a lot of support from the muggy northern bumkins.

The best I can manage on my first two nights of solo nightshift is to
summon all night cloud and fog, enough that the fog is repeatedly
tripping the rain alarm, but not enough to actually soak anything.


But ooh o ooh Orange is getting a good soaking today. 12 hours worth:
