A Spot of Rain
[info]jasonfranks
... well, yesterday's Climactic Holocaust did not take place as predicted by the Bureau of  Meteorology or any of our government agencies.

In fact, I'd characterize yesterday as 'a bit windy'. Some areas experienced power outages and winds were reported up to 125 km/h, but aside from a bit of unusual humidity the weather wasn't bad at all here in the city . We did receive some desperately needed rain last night--the predicted 5mm--but of course that's not enough to stop the fires, let alone address the dwindling reservoirs. 

Our water supply, as a percentage of total capacity, is still on the front page of the newspaper every day, as well as the figure from this time last year. The gap is widening noticeably.

I have to go, now. The mutants are gathering outside the stockade again.

"Porno Plane" Brouhaha

Apparently, a South West Airlines jet now sports a gigantic photograph of Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli in a bikini on its fuselage. Customers are complaining that it's 'soft porn'. What if a child sees it? Or a mother? asks one distressed customer:

If you believe that a picture of a girl in a bikini is pornographic I invite you to shut the fuck up. This has been a public service announcement.
