Hard News: We can do better than this, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Or is the golden rule here that nobody shits where they eat, because a media culture that ...
Funny that, I had related but contrary thoughts of the media-political scene centred on WhaleOil when I pulled this top-stow piece of firewood out from the back of my woodshed just two days ago.
Said shed is beside/under an overly productive feijoa tree very attractive to rats in autumn. I may be being unkind to the rats here, but the feijoa leftovers and ratshit seem very closely associated. -
From the gate post this morning - more new dawn news

John Key At The End of the Day

This enhanced vox pops from the streets of Papakura, Christchurch and Wellington on Campbell Live last night might provide some encouragement.

On the riverbank –
what can I say, but something was triggered, like the sky exploded!
Managed to catch a few fragments. -
Then another theme, of trees supporting the clouds, comes forth.
Here the walnut and many knotted strings of the dawn redwood seeming to hold the clouds
suspended,
if you’re willing to suspend your disbelief –
first in plain colourslater, a little fancy
and more so.
But I’m getting ahead of myself – meanwhile … -
There’s no escape from the weatherscape
Late afternoon Sunday of last week, 3 August 14, and I’ve been daily reading of the corresponding day 100 years ago as World War I is being triggered, when I notice the light outside –

Not so subtle over the pine ridge downstream
