I have watched/listened to the last 2 night news reports of the dust
storm in Sydney with some amazement.

What a waste of time and effort about very little. Last night I kept
thinking the people being interviewed who weren't in hospital should
get a life.


Any new and powerful thing is entertainment, a hint of real life for those
who generally live in an electronic imitation landscape.

:-)) I didn't hear one reference to the loss of topsoil and what that might
mean to those on the land. Perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention, but to
me, that should have been the story, not how city cars and windows and
footpaths needed washing.

And tonight all that water being wasted washing cars, streets and
windows!!!!! Bloody wastrels.

Uh huh.

And by the way the dust was back again this morning, not as bad as before
but pretty thick.

We got the winds and some scudding rain but no dust.
