stirring

To the state's north & further into central Queensland, residents are bracing for cyclone Alfred. He remains 250nm offshore will swing to cross the coast in a few days. As this happens increasing from a 1 to around a 3, bringing flooding rain & damaging winds & sea conditions. 
Coincidentally we are getting rough weather, no good for my projects, ao my thoughts are drifting towards the good ship Selkie in Goolwa. With the chamge of season the prospects of extreme heat out west  is fading so I am thinking itsas good a time as any for a long drive. 
On the way I'll visit my daughter Mia & her partner Dan.They were recently involved in a pretty heavy motor vehicle accident & I feel they need some company. with them on the way is calling. Not only has Dan lost his pride & joy Shorty Landcruiser, they've both been made aware that police support is nonexistent. Its literally dog eat dog. That & the fact that the roads are dangerous enough & medical services are struggling, its a daunting reality to face up to.  
Their place is 440k out, from their I have another 1100k to the boat. Then hook up & pootle home. This will be the fun part, wandering about looking for waterholes & camping spots to get to know Selkie.

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
