Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Breath-ma, ita.

I'm being spirited away to the tulip fields, and maybe mountains. Later tonight we may watch...Spirited Away.

Happy Day for everyone.

The status is NOT quo.

I just read that a tanker carrying coal is grounded on the Great Barrier Reed because it went outside normal shipping lanes. It is leaking oil and on the verge of breaking up. There are no words for how horrified I am.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh dear god. That could destroy the Reef!

A Chinese ship, en route to China from Queensland, hit the reef at full speed, nine miles (15 kilometers) outside the shipping lane. WTF were they doing outside shipping lanes?

Saving money, avoiding pesky inspectors ie saving money, taking a shortcut ie saving money, ignoring inconvenient demands put upon them by people who aren't them ie saving money . . .

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Peter Garrett, the nation's environment protection minister, told reporters that the federal government is concerned about the impact an oil spill could have on the environmentally sensitive reef, which was selected as a World Heritage site in 1981. >[link]

Midnight Oil Peter Garrett?

I knew he was vocal about political and environmental issues but I didn't realize that he was in government. Good on him.

Hooray for Scola.
