[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a photo of my shoulder taken by my M8 when the camera swung on its strap and clouted me in the temple as I fell on ice outside Las Vegas! Sadly no Pulitzer Prize nor Magnum membership resulted. I know there is some kind of WEATHER karma. I can't figure out how I offended the relevant dieties though. After floods and a cyclone we got blasted with a severe storm yesterday. Large tree brought down across my street as I ventured through some minor flooding and no less than 4 inches of rain in an hour. I just heard that the NZ city I am visiting in a few weeks just suffered an earthquake! Dang, I may sacrifice a bullock or something.
