Yup, it's a whole new year starting today.  Here's hoping for the best one ever.  For everyone. 

I was already headed for the land of Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod by 9PM.  Those night owl days have long since passed me by.

A boyfriend I had back in the dawn of time always referred to New Year's Eve as, "Amateur Night".  (He was pretty funny). 

Umm... what June said about the flooding... I listened to a report on NPR this AM, them's some big waters!

I live in Victoria in the south, it,s dry here in the summer. Allan lives in Queensland I think he'd getting the brunt of it if he lives in the north. The rain this year is killing the farmers , they just went through ten years of drought and now the whole of the country has had extremly heavy rainfall, but nothing like north Queensland is getting at the moment.

I don't think we will hearing from Allen anytime real soon, I'm not sure which part of Queensland he lives but the whole states under water, the whole of eastern Australia is bucketing down with rain and there's bush fires in the west. Just thought I would fill you guys in as I know they don't really cover news from other country's in your media. here's some links; http://www.heraldsun.com.au/

Scotty, thanks for the info. on Allen and Queensland.  I saw some footage on TV and the rushing water and speed of it was frightening.  I've always wondered if there are attendant dangers with crocodiles and venomous snakes being displaced, as well.  But what really struck me was the expected surge in food prices.  It breaks my heart to see the desolation and shock on people's faces after they've been rescued and the realization that everything they own(ed) is now vanished forever.  I like getting insight from an Aussie's perspective. 

(I lol at your comment about our "news" here in the States.  The very best coverage that corporate America can buy... keep the populace in the dark and you can get away with just about anything.  Thank heavens for the internet... until they figure out how to take control of that, too!)

Your right bobbin it has now begun to be a big problem, the snakes and the crocs have been displaced and are roaming the streets. The power of the water is awesome to watch isn't it, Just a shame it is being so destructive with so much damage and loss of life. But I hope the people can pick themselves up and get on with life, cause there are other poorer less fortunate country's seem to be getting hit by natural disaster that have it even harder, look at Sri Lanka there in the exact same boat with more loss.

I was surprised when I stayed in the U.S. how there was no news about other countries. We have been spoiled in Aus. as it is covered in our normal news on the commercial stations and the government stations do more serious news and there is one gov.station that just does all foreign stuff news all day , even 1hr. of  North American news. then foreign shows and movies. It's jokingly called the free porn channel.
Yeah thank heaven for the internet, though sometimes I think of it as the back door to the toilet.
