Amazing the rising tide of condemnation and calls for removal of the entire Trump administration. I was going to post a particularly vitriolic post but when I went back to copy it, the page refreshed and I lost it.

Firstly, THANK YOU everyone for your concern. I’m ok — just a bit shaken up, but I’ll be fine. For those who don’t know what happened, I was robbed this morning filling my car up at the petrol station, ready for an early start. After it happened my hands were shaking, I felt dizzy and I was probably in shock. My money was gone, so I called the police. They were fantastic and even called an ambulance because my blood pressure was through the roof. The officer asked if I knew who did it… I said: “Yes… it was pump number 4.”

Going around in circles.

Close, wrong recipient.

Yes, and those images you have to check are so damned small on a laptop, it's almost impossible to see them.

Not sure if I mentioned this, but I renew my car registration for 3 months at a time. The renewal reminder received in December said $116.34 for 3 months. The one received a week or so ago said $116.34 for 1 month. My daughter had the same occur. She rang VicRoads today and they said they were aware of the error in their system, but had not issued amended reminders.

Our next door neighbours, who have solar panels and two Teslas, had two solar batteries installed today. Apparently, the subsidy for batteries ends shortly.

We discussed this at the Shed yesterday, and also spoke about slowing down for flashing lights on workers trucks on the opposite side of the road. If there is a median strip/plantation between the opposing lanes, it is not necessary to slow down if the lights are on the opposite side. If there is no median strip, vehicles travelling in both directions must slow down. My daughter told me this afternoon that a tradie who works on those sites told her and the other school crossing supervisors on her corner that those trucks are being fitted with speed cameras to catch drivers who don't slow to 40 kph in the marked zones. They reckon they'll catch hundreds.

Onetrack gets the kewpie doll.

Two letters incorrect. There have been complaints on FB that the quizzes are difficult/stupid.

Trump doesn't know the difference between "incursion" and "excursion". He has referred to his war on Iran as a "military excursion". Cambridge Dictionary defines "excursion" as a short trip usually made for pleasure, often by a group of people: My class is going on an excursion to Niagara Falls. The definition of excursion is a sudden and unwanted entrance to a place or area controlled by others, esp. in a military attack Some officials in the White House said that they are afraid to correct the president on his gaffe, and others said a correction wouldn’t even matter.

Close, but not quite there.

What's it going to take for you to take off the blinkers and see the light?

Way off the mark.

Very good.

Correct.

Finally! My bank account looks like a telephone number. $0.00.

Correct.

That's right.

I put the same question to the AI search bot on my browser in relation to Victoria. Here is the answer - Yes, in Victoria, you can cross double white lines to pass a slow cyclist, but only under specific conditions. Key rules for crossing double lines to pass a cyclist: You must have a clear view ahead of any oncoming traffic. The manoeuvre must be safe and only done when necessary to maintain the required minimum passing distance. You must give at least 1 metre of clearance when passing a cyclist on roads with a speed limit of 60 km/h or less, and 1.5 metres on roads with a speed limit over 60 km/h. This rule applies to all motor vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. While crossing double lines is permitted for overtaking cyclists, it is not allowed for overtaking other vehicles unless it is safe and legal. Always remember: if it’s not safe to pass, slow down and wait. The priority is ensuring the safety of the cyclist and other road users.

Correct. Starting with th W in the bottom right corner, read each column upwards, the question above is spelled out, missing the Z,Z,L.

And if the verge is too narrow to allow you to pull over?
