    That is a truly lovely photo.

    Can hardly see for tears as I read the lyrics to the Woodie Guthrie song. But can't see the photo, Russell. Why would that be? Ah, see it now, thanks.

    We are all connected.

    Thanks for the info. Much needed.

  • Hard News: I'm not a "f***ing cyclist".…, in reply to Isaac Freeman,

    I wouldn't say the streets are that narrow in Auckland. Having trouble following your logic, but can't help but feel sympathy over the "h.c." which at times borders on the totally callous and ghastly. But I have a certain optimism.

    Perhaps we've reached a critical mass kind of level, where there has been such carnage on the roads that everyone with a brain and a heart is being more careful of others? After 9/11, New Yorkers were more kind to one another. Maybe this is happening here?

  • Cracker: Dig This!,

    How do bulk coffee grounds do in a worm farm?

    Bulk anything is probably not the best. I try to give worms a varied diet. An occasional sprinkle of lime keeps the food sweet, and you could sprinkle a layer of soil over as well. The soil could keep the fruitflies away, too.

    Coffee grounds are excellent soil conditioners and good for lawns.

    The thing that appalled me was TVNZ's use of the Pike River Mine to advertise its pathetic news.

    I couldn't believe they'd be so bloody callous!

  • Hard News: I'm not a "f***ing cyclist".…,

    Any driver who opens a car door on a busy street, without checking for all traffic, be it motorised or pedal-powered, is an idiot.

    Not only is it dangerous for the driver, it could mean the end of a door, if a car passes too closely.

    Perhaps appealing to people's pride of ownership in their vehicles might prove more effective than the idea of injuring or even killing a cyclist has.

    I've been having harrowing flashes of my brother, heading for the Andes on his bike. Hope the car and truck drivers in Argentina and Chile are more mindful of the vulnerability of people on bikes!

  • Cracker: Dig This!, in reply to Karen White,

    Nah, just grin and bear it :)

    Or dig up another patch, just for her. Chances are, and cats being what they are, she’ll just use the veggie garden to spite you.

  • Hard News: Healing the family feud, in reply to Sacha,

    Ooh, bit late here.

    If Jacqui does appear briefly, it must be a nanosecond's worth, compared to all the others on screen who don't get a credit.

    Having said that, I'd better watch again....

    So that was you, Russell! Is that why you didn't answer when I said "Hi Dan!"?
