Musings from the shores of Lake Taupo

by Belingwe

Rated: E · Book · Personal · #2102670

This is a blessed spot, spoilt only by the people, in the central North Island of NZ.

Most of the time for me the glass is half empty. On rare occasions the glass is half full as with news of The Donald's activities.

In response to "Retirement"

Congratulations on retirement!! That's awesome. The pandemic has been difficult for everyone, I think. At least you won't need to be in the workforce for the remainder of it though.

I think he is ok, just has health concerns as do all of us in the age group! I will check on him.

In response to "Leg Update"

I to am glad to hear your doing better. Out west were into the second day of spring, waiting for a major storm with lots of rain for LA and that area, but the high desert will be lucky if we get 1/2 inch of rain. Take the good with the bad.

So glad you found the real problem and are on the road to recovery. Here in Florida summer is on its way, kicking and screaming. We had a modestly warm February but now March has turned colder, 36 degrees F this morning.

Happy New Year to all

I have been off point for a while. Much has happened and so far the festive season, as silly as it is, has treated me passably well. Many of us here see the Donald as some sort of Messiah. We have been fed so much hogwash over the years about the benefits of immigration etc that we are disheartened and we see him as a saviour! This may disturb some people but if you think the USA has issues I can tell you it is much worse in other parts of the world...NZ included. Anyway I am off to buy a motorbike to replace one that was stolen. My son will ride it most of the time but such is life. Am hoping to get back on track and try to keep resolutions. I am collaborating with fellow cadets to put together an account of our cadet course days in the Rhodesian army.

Xmas

We are entering the silly season here. A 10 year old boy was stopped from a sprint race because he was in barefeet!

Over Earthquaked

I am getting over earthquaked via the news media these days and their stories are more inconsequential by the day. They are really starting to scrape the barrel. Many in industry are rubbing their hands with glee anticipating much dinero to be made through scams and fraud.

Aftershocks

The damage to the surrounding countryside at the top of the South Island is huge. Some infrastructure can never be fixed. I am talking about main roads, rail links etc. New access roads may have to be built and rail may never return! I am always saddened at how these natural events bring out the best in rescues and acts of kindness but open the way for scamming contractors to make huge bucks quickly.
