JUST POTPOURRI



What a weird week. An oversize truck hits a girder on a bridge in Washington; the bridge collapses dumping two cars in the river. Two trains collide in Missouri, derailed cars hits a highway bridge pillars; the road collapses and it being night time a car drives off into the gap.

A Cruise ship in the Caribbean has a fire, but can proceed to port.

Chile and Argentina have ordered the evacuation of some 3,000 people living near the Copahue volcano in the south of their border. A volcano in Mexico has been threatening to erupt

In the last 24 hours there have been 84 seismographic reported earthquakes; about a half dozen in the 5 scale. One in Russian Georgia another off the East Coast of Kamachatka (Pacific)
We have gone from air conditioning to needing the heat on and will be back into the 90s in a few days.

In Oz the political scene has been sort of quiet over the holidays. This coming week is the last before elections. When will the shoe drop?

  1. I have thought on this long and hard.I am saving all the political mailers, sent mostly from the dem machine and already they fill up a small garbage bag.
    Now if our esteemed politicians would just put their message on a roll of bathroom tissue, they would get there messages out and help the environment at the same time and save all of us some money, those rolls of paper are dear!
