Queensland In Winter

Not bad.

Highlights:
Swimming at Surfers and Noosa after the morning runs
4 hours long-boarding on that point
Running SurfClub - National Park - Sunshine and back to Noosa. Spectacular and varied.
Watching the magpie fly off with some dickheads full pack of B&H (I checked) at Alexandria Bay
Prawns and Kangaroo steak - so tender - fair dinkum !
Bundy, XXXX, Marl Sauv B, HB Chardy and Penfolds Reds
A tight test match at the Noosa SurfClub. Where were the SA fans until the final whistle?
The strange bed effect

Lows:
Missing out on Wagyu again, at the Mooloolaba pie shop. The lamb was OK.
$49 Oz for 5 hours parking in Brisbane CBD carpark then reading in the CM in the plane later that afternoon about parking in the 4th most expensive carpark in the world. More than hiring the damn RAV4 for the day !
Back to work today - only 187 emails.

Racism, who needs it?

Not my kids.

I wish Barak well but can't see him knocking McCain out. Not after George getting in twice and my experience of US racism in a Broadway bar watching Monday night football.
This guy starts telling me "You now why God made blacks black? So that you know they're lying without having to listen to them. It says so in the bible."
I was grateful the football started soon after so didn't need to worry too much my "You think?" response provoking the scary fuck, public place and all.
I'm sure CK Saturday, July 05 is correct again with her translation of the Asian Anti-crime Group video but we can do without another civil war here. 1864 wasn't a great year for either side.
I've no problem getting tougher on criminals, but let's leave the racist bullshit where it belongs.
