Wish Horsie would post

It's SW Canberra I think. finbar, Horse moved to the outer suburbs of Canbera, I think, but was it SW?

I checked. I only have his old address. It was south. But I don't think he moved all that far. As I understand it, the fires were coming from the west. Fingers crossed.

It means, parently obviously, that your Economist colleagues consider you'd make a better medical doctor than a PhD in Economics. It must be late there.

Strange.....I considered that meaning, but it was so far below the usual standard of wit I have come to expect that I rejected it. Clearly one will have to lower one's expectations.

The important thing is that Horse, Mrs Horse and all the little Colts are alive and well and still have a roof over their heads.

Yeah thanks for the concern guys, we're okay but it did get a bit hairy yesterday afternoon. Here's a shot of a fire going past where we live after the worst was over.

As Maxwell Smart would say, missed me by THAT much....

4 dead, 260 injured, 400 homes lost!

Alexander's Horse · January 19, 2003, 19:34

The old house would have been safer than where we are now. But no regrets.

War4ever · January 19, 2003, 23:03

Alexander's Horse · January 19, 2003, 23:17
