the map

I reckon that the little world map thing is interesting, get to see where all the web folks that look and don't talk come from, not that i really care if they don't.
Anyway, the smoke from the bushfire, (going since sunday), is so thick that you can't see 150 meters and it's pissing down with rain..in the middle of a strange cool summer...we've had over two inches today....can't make it out 'cos of the smoke though...glad it happened though, (the rain), as yesterday we were on red alert and I was out in the yard hosing down the dry bits, garden beds and filling gutters..the wind was kind and the beast didn't come..
