A friend of mine went horseback riding today. Up a beach on a sunny Queensland day. She trotted, galloped and felt the wind in her hair as she and her friends celebrated a birthday of a man now in his 76th year. '
It must have been glorious. A group of friends celebrating the joy of life on an open beach in the sunshine and leaving the cares of the world behind.
And it took me back to a day, about 50 years ago, when Redhead rode a horse and her bra strap broke.

Quilpie Shire Council first introduced its Home Owner Grant two years ago and offered a $12,500 grant for people who buy land and build in the region the same land size as Tasmania.
It now hopes increasing the scheme to $20,000 will boost the town's population by 20 per cent to 1000. 'Our new $20,000 grant will cover most of the price of their land if they build and live on it.' said council chief executive Justin Hancock.
I read a disturbing story of a young girl in Australia who was befriended by a group of girls and savagely beaten at a " sleep over. "
It horrified me that, not only did they seduce this poor girl with a promise of friendship, but, when they beat her, they videoed the attack and posted it online.
As adults, we often forget that desperate need to " belong. " What we must never forget is that when we choose our friends and our " club " we must choose wisely.

America as the “shining city on a hill” is gone. It has been replaced by a country with a weaponized criminal justice system, a radicalized educational system, and a news media that is a mouthpiece for a tyrannical government.
It is difficult to be hopeful about America after twenty-six disastrous months of the Biden administration. All the progress of the previous administration has been reversed. Our country is no longer economically robust, energy independent or secure at our borders.
When good women get involved with good men, all manner of amazing things can happen. In a partnership of equals, the possibility of one plus one equalling three or even four is not only possible, but it is also extremely likely. While standing alone, one person can only ever achieve the potential output of one. But, when coupled with someone of equal potential, the numbers can change dramatically.
It is time to gather our resources and focus on the job at hand: to get back to OUR world where we worked together in unity and harnessed our strengths and pulled together as a team.
It should never be forgotten that one man brought water to the West Australian arid Goldfields and ships into Fremantle Harbour. One man ensured that the railways could unite a vast country like Australia.
That man was not only a remarkable human being and a pioneer, but also a truly outstanding Civil Engineer. He is a true Australian hero.

Authorities in Australia are informing the 25 million people of the nation that they are “eligible” for a 5th COVID shot, as a “booster,” if they have not been jabbed in the past 6 months, except for if they’ve already had the Fauci-funded infection (the best protection there is, by the way).
They are also “recommending” the deadly jab if you’re over the age of 65 or already suffering deadly yet preventable diseases, like diabetes, heart disease, or cancer (severe medical conditions that put them at “risk” of Wuhan coronavirus COVID-19).
It is a long lamented sadness that we are now governed by people who care not for us or our Nations, but for themselves. It does not matter what nation you call home, the problem is still the same: our so called leaders are merely opportunists who are more focused on opinion polls and less focused on doing what is right for their country.
Therein lies the entire problem. Focus groups, social media " persuaders " and self interested career politicians care more about their fat pay cheques than they do about building a Nation and building a future for which we can all be proud.

Remember the mega-hit book The Bonfire of the Vanities? While a work of fiction, the book shone a harsh light on the all-too-real world of lies, corruption, and hypocrisy in high places. In one of my favorite scenes, the power-couple protagonists attend a party at the home of the aptly named Bavardage family, where all the guests blab at each other with deep-fake enthusiasm, making sure to display their “boiling teeth” at all times.
Like the high society portrayed in the book, the Covid regime was replete with rot, from taped-up basketball nets and masked toddlers to vaccine passports and… slogans. Some of the slogans were carefully crafted by governments, while others sprang from the weeds of social media.
Somewhere along the road, our sense of humour hit a road block.
I read a joke today. It is of no consequence what it was other than that it triggered a memory for me.
My late Uncle used to tell that particular joke back in the 80's.
As I recollect he did it with an Irish accent. He told some great jokes. It started me thinking about how nice it is to still have a laugh in these troubled times.
