Apparently us poor bastards in Melbourne [Australia] are in for the hottest stretch of days in 100 years... [bit tough for the Oz Open [tennis], too]....
Today it'll be 38...
Tomorrow [Wednesday] 41
Then 40, 40, 40, 30, 30.
Yes, that's centigrade....for those still in the dark ages that's [C x 9/5] + 32 = Fahrenheit....

I have always loved the winter months, and despised the heat in the summer so i feel for you guys down under, my thinking is, it is easier to keep yourself warm by adding more clothing or turning up the heat/fireplace, but in summer you can only take so much off before the police arrive and tell you to put more clothing on, plus during the winter, i can spend some quality couch time without feeling guilty, warm weather usually means i have to be outside doing something constructive, or destructive which it seems i am pretty good at

R.I.P., Sam.
She managed almost 6 months after the fires, but ultimately Clamidia got her...it's rife amongst the Koala population.

Agreed people should be allowed basements in the ground, my cousins live in The Whipsticks and have one together with their house underground covered in lawn and own reservoir but they spent loads getting planning - they could afford it as they supply half the chickens in Vic but the normal folk cant. Macedon is another area that could get devastated again. Heavily forested mountain areas have minimal escpape roads so they need plan B to survive as conditions change rapid. Maybe big communal underground wombat cellars with oxygen generators, food, water etc
Greenies need a few gigalitres of greenies lobbed on them.
