Stay safe @felvapes. Thankfully the temps have dropped overnight but it will be a short respite at best. Having friends in several of the worst affected areas it is heartbreaking to see the scale of the devastation on a personal level. Half a billion animals dead at least. It is seriously fucking depressing & i am one of the lucky ones.
A fundamental lack of resources & planning have greatly assisted this seasons catastrophic conditions. So have the mongrels deliberately lighting them.
To put a scale on the fire size for those who are unaware just how big they are.

Anyone who knows me knows I am a total klutz. This is no joke... I can hurt myself just standing in a room. I've had more accidents... anything from being hit by a car on my bike two weeks before my wedding to breaking a toe coming out from a pedicure (true story... happened last week).
So a couple months back I went in to the doctor to get my knee checked. It's been clicking and hurting and I thought I could maybe get a shot and be all better.... lol.... well.... he tells me I need a knee replacement.
This would be my fifth joint replacement....... and my response was....
and then...
He didn't laugh. He looked over his glasses at me and asked when I'd like to schedule. And would I like to do this out patient....
OUT PATIENT?!!?!?!?!?!
I think not......
So I bargained for one night in the hospital. And will be starting my stay tomorrow morning. And have decided that going forward I will forego the leather for an outfit like this.... cause this is just getting old.

When computer seat experts and conservative government that run a country like a business try to blame planning and resources as opposed to climate change and lack of army help or listening to the firefighters and those on the ground who are experts in the field
Or world scientists - they are only useful to quote when you want to mine something
This is a semi humourous video instead of straight info as we need to keep it light to survive, but the people who know are still speaking and sharing how things are not the same as ever before
Gotta love our creepy PM grabbing ppls hands too
If I did that to women I'd be arrested for assault
He's only slightly less creepy than scabbot was
The chats are a good band to look up too if want a listen

I feel for you guys in Australia. Not much I can say that helps but I hope they get the fires 100% contained soon. The loss of life, animals and property among other things is tremendously sad. But life finds a way and you guys will bounce back.

We are fighters here
It makes it all worse when in an 8 year drought there is water that has been dammed up and is now sold as privatised water
It's the natural river systems and has been diverted to stop farmers and big rivers getting the natural water they need or normally would
This was a policy that Howard brought in privatising water many years ago now
Water that farmers have no access to without lots of money
The rivers are drying up
There is extra water overflowing from the dam and flooding and killing bushland in national parks because they don't want to give anything away being profit orientated
Disgusting policies and management

I've been reading a little about your fires and the reasons behind them. It seems your politicians are as fucked up as ours, unfortunately. Maybe, hopefully, this is a low for both our countries with better times coming.
Reminds me of the Neil Young lyric from "vampire blues" on his old "on the beach" album "good times are coming, but they're sure coming slow."

Sorry, it's just so hard not to get upset given the shape our planet is in and the rush to destroy it.

Also didn't mean to break the rulesJust a friendly reminder that political discussion not related to cannabis is against the forum rules.

I was just sharing facts that have happened and how bad these decisions have been and have helped lead to this crisis we are living in here right now and that there is water being not only held at ransom but wasted in overflow
It wouldn't matter who was in power, I would point out the same issues regardless as they are serious and killing people at the moment
It wasn't supposed to be a "political" post as a fire and drought post with reasons and examples of how we got here
I didn't actually say one way or another who I politically support, just that these certain people have made some shite and dangerous decisions (and creepy ones grabbing people for photo ops)
I understand how it is on the fence as to breaking the rules and sorry if I did this
But wasn't the main subject of my post or focus
We are just in crisis mode here and some people have a lot to answer for no matter where they sit in parliament
Btw those strip searching police with sniffer dogs are out every day currently in multiple spots in NSW - even at 7 in the morning at railway stations while people on the way to work
And this premier knocked back help from army whilst pushing this harrassment of children and general public
People dying in fires and losing absolutely everything and she knocks back help to save people but wastes police resources on this every single day
It's frustrating to say the least and I again apologise for sharing and maybe breaking the rules
It really wasn't the focus of my posts
For us it isn't just the rush to destroy the planet we all share
Or our distant associates from a safe place
It's us and our families and friends and communities losing out right now directly and we are still in danger
Since September some of these fires have been going on
I smell and see smoke everyday outside
My car is covered in ash from the wind carrying it
So F any and all the politicians doing FA to make things better and having added to it along the way - whoever they are as both/all sides have made some major mistakes over the last few decades
EDIT
On another point here is an article showing some of the all too common behaviour in this country that supposedly pulls together to help everyone in a crisis
Not politicians but welfare workers

The current rainfall we have been having the last two days is a wonderful break
Some places have flooding to deal with, and other places still need more
Buuut, some places have full dams and 30 + fires have been extinguished :D
Still more burning, and still so much devastation to clean up and help those that lost all, but a much needed grace at any rate
Loving the sound of rain outside
(I said it would rain straight after I washed the car !!! Worked extra well hahaa)
