INTERNET: ON THE FUTILITY OF COMMENTING

HOLIDAYS: PRE-PANDEMIC EDITION

Well, that's 2019 done and dusted. The Christmas wrapping's long gone in the trash, those extra pounds you put on are still making you frown when you look in the mirror (or maybe you just don't give a crap), and I'm another year older and stupider.

But let's hope 2020 and the coming decade is an improvement. I mean, it could go either way this decade couldn't it? 

A nice start would be if Trump weren't re-elected and Australia could stop burning as here in New Zealand we had a week of orange skies and dust due to smoke travelling across the Tasman sea. It really was extraordinary and for once, climate change wasn't dismissed as a hoax although Murdoch Media is doing its bloody best. Our glaciers got a dusting - which they don't need - and it was possible to look at the sun's disc directly for at least a day. Can't complain though, it was better to be here than in Queensland/NSW and best wishes to those Aussies who've been affected.

In the meantime, here's some baby squid just to put things into perspective.



Because after all, aren't we just all baby squid?

<26 Jan/edit> and as if on cue, up pops a possible pandemic to kick off the decade.
