Angriness takes its toll.

Thank you, Jim Chalmers, for your budget last night. Today CBA shares dropped about $18, which cost the parcel my wife left for the kids a bit over $10,000.

I recently bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy A17 for under $250, on special at Big W. The camera is not exceptional, but sufficient for what I require. Here are a couple of shots I took last night, hand held, under our bedroom light. The second one is the back of a hearing aid battery pack with very small print. $2 coin for size comparison.

America had a treaty with Iran on nuclear weapons, and Trump scrapped it, purely because it was arranged by Barack Obama.

Trump, or at least, the Trump organisation, has pulled the plug on Trump Tower Gold Coast.

Definition of a gentleman - someone who knows how to play the bagpipes -- but doesn't.

I emailed him and got a reply within 15 minutes. He is well, but has had a few system problems logging onto different sites.

I just checked his profile. He last visited in Nov 25, and on AP. in August 25.

I said to her, "Why would you want to go out on a freezing cold night to watch your team get beaten and lose your keys?" She relied, "you go out to the Shed more times than I go out. I'm not going out next weekend." Her teams are playing interstate.

Look at the number of informal votes and other minor parties/independents.

What a disaster of a weekend. My daughter's team Collingwood - beaten. My eldest son's team Essendon - beaten. What made it worse was the security at the MCG. Last year, security let two people with guns through the gate, even though the detector beeped. Now they insist on everyone emptying their pockets. My daughter had already removed all metal objects from her pockets, but they insisted that she remove everything else, so she put the metal stuff on the table to remove hankies etc from her pocket, and didn't beep when scanned. Then she missed picking up her keys and didn't realise till she got back to Mitcham and couldn't get into her car. Andrew had to go to the station and pick her up. They are going to the Melbourne Storm NRL game this afternoon and will go early so they can go over to the MCG to pick up her keys.

In many ways, my daughter is weird. She has wanted an electric car for more than 15 years. Originally wanted to convert her Ford Festiva to electric. Even attended a seminar at Swinburne Tech. Now she wants to buy a Mustang Mach e and has almost saved up enough to do so. But she normally only drives a couple of km. a day.

I take a HTV card from everyone. No-one knows which I will follow, if any of them. If you vote for X, then you want them to have the best chance to win. You may not know which order of preferences will best assist that result. Following X's HTV helps you decide which works best for them.

Yes.
