I miss the early daylight of summer and am wondering if I would winter in the southern hemisphere if I had a lot of money – independent wealth, dontcha know. Of course, I have watched an awful lot of TV programs about all the deadly snakes and insects in Australia and that would be the stuff of a winter’s worth of nightmares.
For some reason I just remembered something I read about the colonization of Australia: A great many people thought there was an inland sea and took boats with them over the mountains outside Sydney. I think that’s interesting; actually, it sort of fascinates me. Surely scouts and explorers had ventured out and over the mountains. Maybe some people went over and came back and said, “There’s an inland sea.” Then they started a boat-building business.
Oh, I almost forgot. During some impromptu research here at the PBC&R, Al and Simon discovered the existence of nano-alligators that thrive inside computers. They are working on traps and soon, for three easy payments of $39.95, you can buy one. And if you call right away after they announce the perfection of their device, they will send you two. The traps are so small they are not visible to the naked eye and will come packaged in a small cone container. You clip the end off the point and stick it in the earphone jack.
I guess Australia has more poisonous snakes and insects than any other place on earth. Not my kind of place. My son spent about six months there. He loved it. He was there during their summer and so for 18 months he had nothing but summer.
I thought I was the only person moaning about the loss of light. Just makes you not want to get out of bed in the morning when you know you have a few hours of darkness ahead of you.
I googled nano alligators. (Yes, you got me to google it) and guess what came up….. your blog in first place. You are first, you have arrived.
