I was wondering how seriously wrong the climate had gotten for such a mother of a storm to be near that part of the planet but hey, with the Bush administration, everything’s possible. Let’s blame Duhbya anyways. 🙂 ---

Cyclone Clare [crossed the coast](http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,17778516-2,00.html) this morning. No reports of major damage as yet. But there have been reports of surfers being rescued from the dangerous conditions. You have to wonder about the sanity of such people. ---

I have a friend in Karratha right now, with her husband and baby boy (3 mths). I’m rather worried about them, and hoping they’re safe from bodily harm. Their house is provided by her husband’s employer and properly insured, so at least the cost of any property damage won’t be a problem for them. > [@1920s Style "Death Ray"](#): > > P.S., I’m not an Aussie, but will become one on the 26th of January! I will retain my original citizenship of New Zealand so I can cheer for the winning team in any trans-Tasman sporting conflicts. Congratulations! ---
