thanks supreme dalek,
just me supporting a fellow gardener, and for those who aspire to other means. maybe i should have a political footnote ie.,. the author of this site does not necessarily share the opinions of other sites. enjoy snipped With peace and brightest of blessings, len -- "Be Content With What You Have And May You Find Serenity and Tranquillity In A World That You May Not Understand." http://mywebsite.bigpond.com/gardenlen2/ |

g'day deorge,
not realy mate other issues at stake here, not sure about peak oil or what it may stand for? but just watching suburbia and the waste of resource by the masses, we might be burning bits of paper to keep warm and washing under summer rain storms. i mean there are more huge gas guzzling 4X's in the 'burbs than we ever saw in rural, and all just to deliver prodgoney to school. i said to my little bro' the other day "we are an intelligent race of people - but we aren't very smart" all opinions are my own enjoy snipped With peace and brightest of blessings, len -- "Be Content With What You Have And May You Find Serenity and Tranquillity In A World That You May Not Understand." http://mywebsite.bigpond.com/gardenlen2/ |

lol lol chookie,
i mean they just look so silly even driving the things in the 'burbs, need 48 point turn to park them in shop centre car parks, and muscles like scwatsies brain to turn the steer wheel, oh and a step aldder to get in and out of them. ah well the rising fuel prices might put a damper on their popularity, can't even finger the yuppies alone anymore these ones where we are are in a lower socio economic high welfare area. snipped With peace and brightest of blessings, len -- "Be Content With What You Have And May You Find Serenity and Tranquillity In A World That You May Not Understand." http://mywebsite.bigpond.com/gardenlen2/ |

What don't you like in suburbia, Kylie? it would be shorter to tell you what i DO like. g 1: my kids can have much more physical freedom as there aren't traffic issues and 2: (this is probably only specific to the canberra burbs, where i am) i like the bush bands and massive parks that we have. (unfortunately the big parks and bush bands only add to the endless spread, so they're actually part of the problem g - merely a pleasant problematic aspect rather than purely problematic.) i love cities and i love the country, but this halfway existence in the burbs is a dispiriting hell. still, it galvanised my interest in gardening, so nothing's all bad eh :-) kylie --- moving to the country soon, hurrah! |
