Thanks Sandy.
Are you away from the fires?

Hey, thanks for asking Bruce. Many people (even some here in Australia) seem to think the fires are all over, but as you can see here it's not at all over, and this Friday is predicted to be a potential horror day again.

We're not far from the fires, but fortunately we're quite safe. We live just north of Wilsons Prom, where 22000ha are burning. (I helped cook and serve dinner to 100 firemen down there: I'm sure some girls would even pay to do that, eh?!) About 40km east of us the Churchill fires are still burning (24,000ha but contained) and a few weeks ago we could see a huge red glow in the sky of the fires at Mirboo North, about 40km NW (where this famous koala photo was taken). We're surrounded by grassy hills so even if fire reached us it would not be of the 1200C + hellhole kind.

We (people and animals) could use some kindly elves here at the moment.

The extent of your fires is almost unfathomable. Are you with the Red Cross?

Griff, I wore a Red Cross pinny when doing dinner for the firies, but that was my first time (we moved here in 2007). Fish Creek is very small - only a few hundred residents - but just about everyone in these country areas does volunteer work. Almost all firefighters outside of the major cities are (well trained) volunteers . Our neighbour is a dairy farmer and has to leave his farm when there are fires to fight. Not all the fires he fights are local; he's been flown interstate to help with major bushfires. They really are heroes.

Why don't you just start a fire right in CO?
Save the plane fare.

we have faery doors in Ann Arbor, so if you see little people out of the corner of your eye, it's not necessarily a flashback to the last hash bash.

NO. No, sorry.

You are coming to England, to share a flat with me & Diz. Together we can afford a two-bed two-bath (well, one will be a shower, which I'd best take or you'll be shocked by the dribble).

We'll work as glass collectors at the local "Gentleman's Club" and live off our tips. Or theirs. And support eachother. I'll tell you fairy stories, you can tell me them in return, and together we'll write our book.

See, it's all sorted!
