Hard News: Reputation and remuneration, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
You seriously think 100,ooo people of any interest group are actually EVER going to come to any kind of convention here EVER?
I think the phrase used to be "Get real,"
I think the phrase now is, "In a pig's arse."
The bottom ground of the conversation is always HERE-

Dear Hebe - oysters (&titi & paua&rawaru & tuna& whitebait) are our family's major currencies. They're the koha we give to those we love. May - very soon - you get some Bluffs in acknowledgement of your father's birthday- ka mihi mahana n/n Keri

Kia ora Chris! It is so good being (kind of officicially) a kaumatua! Or, as we say in the South, he hakui na te hakui (elder from the mother.)
You & family ever get back to the South, please allow me & mine to host you-

My family are shooters. We use (registered & in every way legal) firearms to shoot/kill deer/goats/ etc. We also use (registered & in every way legal) shotguns to kill things like stoats/possums/magpies/starlings/weasels etc.
When I teach whanau about the power -and danger- of explosives, I do it to emphasize those matters – and how to be safe when that stuff is going on. Annnd,
it can be – believe! – non-destructive fun.Red-neckery – it is emphatically not.
Part of living in rural/remote areas – it is very much part of our lives.The ‘muddying of the waters’ wasnt at all that helpful.
And yeah, urban etceteras like yourself dont really contribute much to this paticular strand of the thread- -

The large extremely fresh & o so succulent Bluff oysters my mother Mary bought me for my 65th birthday breakfast should star against those- but aue! eaten immediately!
Will capture some later...
For Bluff-buffs: they are exceptionally excellent this season: bonamia seems to have been sloughed...
