Spring in Sydney, Oz
Well, it sure is spring here in the southern hemisphere. Great picture-postcard weather; plenty of sunshine, and happy visitors enjoring the sights and sounds of Sydney Australia. Australia, the Land of Oz.
Of course it's not quite the pretty if you work here.
The city traffic continues to be pretty near impossible, with snarl-ups happening around the new Land Cove tunnel just as they did a year ago with the Cross-City tunnel... The difference here is that the Pollies have an election coming up, so they're trying to minimise the damage by reopening roads they'd agreed with the tunnel company to close. So the NSW state government will be paying out millions on compensation from the public purse - after the election.
Notice how the price of petrol has suddenly gone down again? What's the bet it goes up again once the election's over. And if that's the case, why aren't more people wondering how this little miracle can occur.
The public always gets the government it deserves... Isn't that what they say?
