LEARNING TO GO BOOM
I NEARLY jumped out of my swamp last Wednesday when two loud booms burst my concentration while reading last week’s edition of this esteemed paper. I haven’t been to Ukrainian recently so I’m not sure what bombs sound like but I imagine it was something similar. Maybe the Russians were giving up and turning their sights on the well-known key strategic asset of Beerwah.
Instead disappointingly the kids came home and told me they were just blowing up things on the school oval in the name of science. Did you learn anything, I enquired. Nah, not really. That was worth it then.
A METEOR TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
Had a chuckle at Bob Katter who wasn’t happy there was no early warning about a meteor that crashed somewhere in Queensland over the weekend. People got scared so something must be done!
Bob did admit that he was “fairly ignorant about astronomy”, and you know what, other than knowing I’m a Leo, I am as well. But I did a bit of research and can now report there are about 18,000 meteor strikes a year globally and bugger all deaths. Even so, I’m with Bob: What is the government doing about it?
HOME SWEET HOME?
Could it really be that the homeless crisis is so bad that people are ripping out palings and sleeping rough under local halls? Word is that’s what is happening around Turner Street. Locals are finding swags and other things hidden around the place. Not a nice thought that things are this bad for people. Apparently some are sleeping under a nearby hall. Let’s hope that this crisis doesn’t get much worse but I don’t see anything changing soon.
