Default Sydney dust

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.

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

Went shopping with SWMBO yesterday arvo when the worst was over. Used a 5
litre bucket and a cloth on the windscreen, rest of vehicle still dusty. On
way back she said "Gee the moon looks weird". "That's the sun dear" was my
reply. It was white & very safe to look at.

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

Uh huh.

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

:-)) 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.

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

The media reckon that there was about 75,000 tons of dirt getting blown
offshore every hour that the dust and wind was blowing, should charge the
Sheep Shaggers for the extra topsoil we are sending them.
