This
morning in the wee hours it started storming with lots of warm, windy
rain including a light show Florida is so famed for. The Warrumbungle
Jungle is nearly the opposite. I rolled out and just soaked it up
thinking about all the marvelous people and the toys I got to play
with there back just after the seas had retreated and the first life
had emerged on land!
That
site appears to be from Siding Springs and I had a beautiful sunset
photo from that very location. 4,000 photos of my many trips were
destroyed in the 1998 El Nino flooding. We had over 4 feet of
rain, just over-whelmed.
One
weekend morning, a pair of Aussie Park Rangers I knew decided I
needed a little exercise and it was time to take a break from the
observatory work. They knew I had spent a lot of time rock climbing
in the Sierras and thought I'd enjoy a little Aussie equivalent.
Yeah, that was their idea of a good rock climb! Rotten old
volcano core, so crumbly one could grow a garden on it...
One
of the guys took a photo of me. Now I was very fit, experienced rock
climber, however that loose stuff with zero safety lines cured my
hemorrhoids! Sheesh! Were they enjoying my problem? Of course! Don’t
fret, I got thoroughly even! There are ways, oh yes, there are really
rough ways… A Scoutmaster who I was assistant scoutmaster to in
California, taught me during one two week trip with a bunch of Boy
Scouts how to effect total, self-inflicted misery on such. At least
no one died either time. God will call him to task (and me too ;o).
Irv, wherever you are, I hope He had mercy on your smiling, evil
little soul!
