Central City is NOT a Red Zone...
CERA goes into the bus tour business soon*, but I just wish they would stop referring to the central city demolition area as a 'Red Zone' - I don't believe anyone's land is being forcibly purchased and remediated/strengthened by the government, sure they are bullying buildings down, but the empty section still remains the property of the owners - I see Gerry is doing his heavy enforcer thing with the ClarendonThe owner of the earthquake-hit Clarendon Tower will take an "awful" financial hit if it refuses to co-operate with authorities, Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee says.

So much so that it is squeezing satellites out of orbit notes Spaceweather:Solar activity has strongly affected ROSAT's decay. Only a few months ago, experts expected the satellite to re-enter in December. However, they did not anticipate the recent increase in sunspot count.

The massive observatory now has a date with its home planet in October.
Maybe a kind of God wind...

Gone with the Wind...

familiar with this fabulous flatulist, Le Pétomane -
Hard News: The Sound of Music, in reply to Bart Janssen,
Fan fear...

less sense, to me, with cricket...
