For today YES. It has been good.

Locally it is past 4:00 a.m. and I'm still answering email, participating in
discussions all over the place and as we all well know I'm mad.

But, mai oui, rain everywhere in the Sydney region, quite copious in places. I'm
waiting for the local 08:30 reports about "Mangrove Mountain". Even though it had
vast fires, it is our sole source of water. It was at around 30% capacity, has it
improved?

Someone, somewhere, has predicted March 2003 as the end of the "great Australian
drought". I hope not on 24th March, my birthday. Still a great present!

Ah! quite feral. On the mainland we fervently believe they are *all* inbred down in
Tasmania. The Island scenario. Yep, magic rain forests because of the rain etc.

Ironically, because of the drought, many rain forests in my state burned in the
fires. Rain forests shouldn't normally burn!

If you're into rain forests, it takes a modest financial investment and about 5
years to turn your backyard into a rain forest in my area!

TRUE

Past 04:00 LT, 18:00Z

Bizarre, dunno what the "septics" are doing. They're *very* quiet.

I'm going to bed....
