Good morning daily

[supersparky]

Good morning everyone. Its 19° here now, heading for 30°+ today. Warmer inland so the man says. I just wish it would rain, even a little bit.
Our tomatoes are buggered now, the fruit fly found 'em.
Got up to not very much yesty except a bit of gardening.
I'm off to the GP this morning to find out all the test results, and to have a few more as well. Getting old is fun isn't it.
Stay hydrated everybody, safe travels.

Good morning All. 13* with 28* forecast with a few showers around midday. Julie headed off to Canberra at 7am for a few days of work so I am about to order some soil to be delivered, that will give me something to do.

"tanks" here---
G'Day everyone. I'm waiting for the sun to show itself again. The temp yesterday was up in the low 30's and a nice sunny day.
I look forward to the same today. My housekeeper will be here at 09:30am for 1 hour, so that is my exciting thing for today; I can watch her swing the vacuum cleaner around the floor.
Keith.

Keith, do you get to watch the bin truck on its day, or is that now something from days gone by?

Hi there David, the bin truck (red top bins) collects at 06:00am, and the (Green & Yellow top bins) others come on different days on a fortnightly cycle.
The afternoon collection wakes me from my "nanna nap" sometimes; usually I don't acknowledge the afternoon collection.

Sad the voice didn't get up, without it written in the constitution, any gains are subject to the political value that could be gained by abandoning them grab a few votes ..... Gay marriage got across the line, but an indigenous voice was a no go in every state ..... sad it became a political football.

I wasn't sad at all the voice didn't get up, it would've been useless as has every other supposed system to help remote and rural people. We are lucky we have enough sensible people in Aus that can see through the scams created by brain dead academics and their elitist hangers on. Homosexual marriage is a very different thing, didn't require any funding or insertion in the constitution and people are entitled to have whatever sexual preference they want, as long as it doesn't harm others involved and they keep it to themselves.

To me it looks like our society is fracturing along lines of self perceived entitlement, rather than coming together when the future is looking pretty grim for everyone. The trans thing makes me sick, have nothing against those who want to dress as the opposite sex, but competing and being classed biologically different to what they are, is just a sign of a sick mind.

As for the indigenous problems, easy solved and many indigenous I know have put forward ideas that would definitely work, but they are dismissed by bureaucracy and politicians, because it would upset the vested interests of the political parties. There are many communities that have introduced workable approaches, only to have them shot down by academics who have never been outside their urban jungle. Which means nothing will change until we get rid of the ruling elites and hand over control of the country to the people and the best way to do that is online government, where voters can review every departments performance and vote to sack those who waste money or abuse their positions. We have the technology and it could all be done in voluntary forum formats, which can't be hacked or intruded upon. The technology is already there, its just the majority use proprietary systems so have no control over their data or systems and pay through the nose for junk computing and phones, but by using linux container systems there's no chance of being hacked or your data stolen and used.

My last little rave is, we are seeing the complete collapse of human society around the planet, climate change, pollution unrelenting human population growth, degradation of the environment and chemically saturated foods is sending humans insane. Read the other day that this year, our government has imported 454000 immigrants, how do we cope with that insanity. We already have growing homelessness, collapsing heathy systems, inadequate transport systems and never ending prices rising. The elephant in the room is, our wonderful political gave away all our fuel supplies and now we rely upon overseas supplies which will be easily stopped if war breaks out in the middle east which looks more likely every day. Yet all our problems can be simply solved, it's just that profit growth fuels our political system and not logical rationale and there's no way we can change it until we elect a political party whose aim is to get rid of political parties and hand power to the people. Don't hold your breath waiting for anything to happen other than more of the same, no chance at all.

The "voice" would have put those ideas in writing by the parliamentary Hansard, that can never be removed or altered. What we still have is a system that can pretend they never heard it or it was "not practical" in their view, or even if it gets up with that govt in office, it gets thrown out by the opposition once it gets into the top job .....

As for the world going crazy, I blame social media and ai driven search engines that look for something just a bit more "crazy" than the last site you visited ... when these "crazies" say, "do your own research" you need to very careful how you word the search to make it completely neutral, otherwise it will head off in the direction it believes you want to go ....
As an example, a simple search for an item to buy and how much it will cost .... "what price for xyz" will return a completely different search result "to where to buy xyz"

T1,thats a bit shi##y that they didn't leave any of the stuff that you had requested they leave. Ba#&tards.
I would have serious doubt that our public services, both federal and state could find an impartial way of auditing anything, let alone where all the money goes.
I was disappointed to see that the referendum didn't get up. But when you look at hard the opposition pushed back from the very start, it probably didn't have much of a chance.

The real issue I have is that they asked me to put an X on anything I wanted to keep, so I used a bright orange spray can to mark it ...... I couldn't actually move the stuff myself because either the roof was being held up by it, or it was too heavy to simply pick it up while bent double to fit under the collapsed roof, or in the case of the compressor, it would have required clearance around it and a forklift to move it .... they simply didn't realise what some of the stuff was actually worth, like all the valve guides and pleater spindles Jerry had loaded up in those big plastic containers, there was mark be 1/4 of them scattered on the concrete and I asked where the rest were, shovelled up with the tele handler bucket and gone in the scrape metal 40 ft container ... priced at scrape steel .... not the actual value the special bronze they were made from, 17c kg for scrape steel, $35 plus for manganese bronze .....
There were two generators complete from the Lincoln diesel welders, over 1/2 tonne each .... they claimed they never saw then ... yeah, right, around $1,000 a tonne, they even scraped the 2 x 3 cyl Perkins motors, complete .... it just goes on and on ... walk away, nothing I can do about it now ......

Good morning everyone. Hope your trip goes well Bernie.
The wind has been getting up a bit for the past few days.
I had hoped it would blow itself out and we'd get some rain. But that hasn't happened. It has cooled off a bit though.
Didn't achieve much yesty, except walking the dog.
Saw the GP, got a few more tests to do now.
Safe travels everybody.
