At present, the bushfires are getting really close. They just overtook a suburb about 6 or 7 kilometres from my house. If I disappear for a while... well, you'll have an educated guess as to what happened.

Wouldn't that be fun...   One of the few times when a GTVA freighter would be handy for something...Just one comment on those dudes starting the fires (if I understood correctly)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Oh, it'll be Jerusalem alright.

*sigh* I can only take a few things... I'll be leaving a lot behind. Hopefully none of it'll happen at all and I won't have to leave, but I can see the fire now, lighting the smoke over the horizon (it's 2120 right now, so dark night, but with an artificial sunrise).

Come to wet'n'wild Vancouver.  No brush fires here.

And I suggest taking your HD along when you go.

Yeah, that and your KryoII since you only just bought that - it's fairly small as well.

Edit: Whats the Aus authorities doing to stop this? It sounds... very large but I haven't had a chance to read about it for a couple of days... can something be done or are you waiting for it to die out?

Unfortuneately I don't think there's very many things you can do to stp a fire of this size apart from backfires.


Anyhow Good Luck Setekh

We don't want the Setekh to become steak do we? (bad joke I know)

If it reaches your house, run like a Perseus would run from an Aeolus!
