What January looked like in Oz.

No pool here. If it's bad enough we drive to a local spring and throw rocks until the red bellies slither away. That or the ocean.

[Bricktop]

Gee, no pool.



It's hard being poor, I guess.

They're hassle magnets in this area. Always fishing leaf litter and distressed critters out of them.

[Gaon]

Gee, no pool.

No pool in our apartment either.

You live in an apartment. I live rural. We must be poor.  ac_biggrin

We're new immigrants in a very expensive city. An apartment it is for now.

Nothing wrong with that.

Hey, I'm OK associating with poor people.



It's not like I gloat, or anything...

You are magnanimous.

That attempt got fired then fell real quick.

Most southerners don't like humidity. But the heat is becoming rather onerous. 47.7 is not enjoyable.



I would prefer the general temperature to go back about 3 degrees to where it was 30 years ago.

I can understand that Bricktop..



We are in an Arctic chill right now with no end in sight.

Our trains in the West are on slow orders which means conductors and hog heads earn less money. Track maintenance has been delayed. Hydraulics don't work well colder than -35.



When it's this cold it has direct consequences for the national economy.

I guess I should not mention our pleasant mild 28C, then.

Not until June.

The polar vortex is heading our way. 24C later in the week.
