Psoriasis? Note: I cut grass for a living.

#SendBarronToWar

Frazzled, I’d love to get back to frazzled. The aged care system doesn’t help either. Just adds to the frazzleness.

Not ruling out boots on the ground.
What a mess. The forever war, act II.

Too true T
This could well be another watergate like moment starting to unfold.

The light on the hill is well and truly extinguished

Cartoon of the day

Yeah, more front than the commonwealth bank.

I was expecting it to be all over and another war ended chalked up

Back safe in The Clarence valley after picking up dad from GCUH. Tired but safe.

Lunch before picking dad up from Gold Coast uni hospital. Cities have their uses.

My diagnosis is serious. As I watch the nurse search for a good vein, I can’t help but do the maths “Slip, slop, slap” wasn’t just a slogan. It showed how to transform our entire approach to saving lives.

It’s always better to build a fence at the top of a cliff than to have an ambulance at the bottom.

Preventive health is better and cheaper than caring for people after they get preventable diseases like melanoma.

The Allan state govt must not defund VicHealth.

Almost off the green and it rained.
Inside to dry off a little.

Having coffee waiting for the sun to rise. Rain stopped. Should get greens cut and then it’s the 2.5hr journey to Gold Coast to pick dad up from the hospital. The plus is, Oporto’s at Burleigh Heads enroute.

My op-ed about how the free staters are systematically dismantling our state and local governments.

Please read and share.

Lost his seat to a woman no less, oh the humanity!!

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

At top pub in Maclean for birthday. Drizzling rain outside. Still have work trousers on but changed into a t-shirt. Ditched the steel caps too.

Off soon to take dad(93) up to Gold Coast Uni hospital to have stents removed following his gall stone removal procedure last month. Pick him up on Saturday. 2.5hrs in a Mazda 2….no worries.

Lags and rozzers

We were taught in senior economics(early 80s) that companies behind tariff walls lack innovation and become inefficient and uncompetitive. It works at retaining labour but consumers wear the cost.

The grift that keeps on grifting.

GOOD NEWS: The world’s largest steam-producing heat pump is now online in Finland, delivering 12 MW of superheated steam from waste heat and CO₂-free electricity.

Proof that industrial heat can be electrified at scale.

My father worked for Malleys in Brisbane, mid sixties/seventies, as the maintenance fleet mechanic.

We used mercury fungicides in Greenkeeping up to the mid 90’s. I don’t miss handling such toxic substances.

What’s the book on the leader of the opposition not being so by the next election?

All of the above
