    One of my favourite books.

    I would leave it stand for a week or two to let oil drain back out of wherever it went. Clean the plug. Pull off the float bowl and clean it.

    What Hamas did is no worse than what the Japanese army did in Manchuria and Borneo, or what the Nazis did to the Jews. But once done, you can't fight a war against a segment of society. There were good Germans and good Japanese, but the bombs rained down on them all. There is no other way to fight against evil in wartime. And war is the only way to sanitise the evil. Each society, worldwide, is responsible for the actions of the groups within it.

    People in prison have been killed with a rock in a sock. If that weapon becomes popular, will Albanian ban rocks or ban socks?

    Life at boarding school, and in mining camps has given me a very good appreciation of the bell curve.

    No excesses in Gaza. Don’t believe the propaganda. War is war, particularly urban war. Don’t let the anti Semites win the propaganda war.

    The USA is having its anus horribilus.

    The disarmed shooter got away and ran back to the bridge and picked up another rifle. Meanwhile the other bloke on the bridge shot the brave fruiterer twice.

    I’m done with politely ignoring anti-semites. In real life or on line.

    STUCK FARMER, CUPID STUNT. A British agricultural worker has been freed by emergency services after hiding in a hay baler. He said he did it to allow a friend to enjoy time in the haystack with a milkmaid. 'I am embarrassed' he said, 'but reporters should find more important things to write headlines about'.

    The greatest enemies of solar farms must be fire and hailstorms. In the USA I would add tornados, but not so much here. Presumably they are insurable events, and the premiums will just be built into the cost of power. They will be fairly rare, so not too expensive compared to distribution costs.

    Long ago now I flew interstate or overseas three or four times a week. I refused to fly economy. No one should have to suffer that.

    After a lot of rain I spent two days in the garden, pulling weeds and trimming edges. Then today it was windy and a large branch fell across the garden right where I had been working. Chainsaw today and tomorrow.

    Thank goodness you weren’t on the bike.

    I have reached my advanced years without needing an electric toothbrush, electric shaver or electric car. But I really appreciate my electric chainsaw, hedge trimmer, leaf blower and whipper snipper. Have used them all in the last couple of days, great labour savers and easy to use.

    The current government have lied and continue to lie. The $275 was just one example. We will be paying much more for a diminishing supply of electricity. Expect frequent outages.

    We have had two hybrids, both excellent. The only negative really is the harder suspension and tyres, done to reduce rolling resistance.

    Yes to all three when I was young. And I carried a Globite port to school every day.

    People in Castlemaine say Cassel maine not carsle maine as I do. That is my NSW accent, which rarely makes a difference.

    No country is 100% renewable.
