The plane is being used as a wind vane, this I do not understand, and there were no pix.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-2591926201358600572012-07-24T08:04:49.178-04:002012-07-24T08:04:49.178-04:00I love the name gritting.

I can see serious world-wide rationing being needed within the next few decades. But heat? Does it really only get to 33 in your neck of the woods? That would be a pleasant day in spring or early summer here in Perth, Western Australia. In high summer we can get days on end over 40. I thought it was hot when I first moved here but it's amazing how adaptable we humans are. Just as well, given the mess we are making of the planet!Satima Flavellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427849961195148899noreply@blogger.com
