Lst night I watched an astonishing light show in the clouds. Usually one gets intermittent lightning flashes, but this storm light show was just like New Year's fireworks. The storm was way off in the distance, but I did get about 12mm of rain in a couple of very heavy showers.
However, this is a storm that moved over tjhe NSW Southern Highlands yesterday.
I actually remember when John Howard sold off australia's gas for 5 cents per liter. I was the only person who took the time to convert petajoules per something to cents per liter, so this was not known at the time, or ever after from that point of view.
I don't think that Howard was so bad, I reckon he thought gas was infinite in australia.
