Yarra Blvd Stink

Effluent. Smells like newly manured fields in Germany where they use
(or at least, they used to use when I lived there) human fuvg.

It's coming from the playing fields at St Kevins. Poor ohttref got the
worst of it. The fence between their land and Gardiner's Creek shows
that the water was about a metre higher than their levee bank. Looks
like the Scotch playing fields, on the other side of the creek, were
dry. Is God trying to say something to the Catholics? :)

Actually, it's more likely that the bend in the creek at that point,
plus a couple of trees jammed against the City Link supports, caused a
surge on one side of the creek.

As far as I can tell, God told the Catholics to build their schools on
enormous tracts of prime hill-top real estate. If St. Kev's wasn't listening
when they bought their playing fields, that's too bad. We at Xavier are dry
on our hill. Of course, my office is under the Chapel, and it (the Crypt, as
it's called, not the Chapel) leaks every bloody time we get decent rain, so
go figure.

Depends on the wind. It was barely noticeable on the Blvd yesterday,
but quite strong under the Monash.

Hey, it's just a pong. It's not going to kill you :)

Maybe there should be temporary warning signs put up in the affected area - warning that the Son of Stimpy is on the loose. :eek:
