Well your weather might be nice, but you are still upside down and you
talk funny. :)

You buckin' to get on the wrong side of Karen?

I speak the truth - Australia is upside down and it's inhabitants talk
funny.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

Funny you should state they talk funny. On a business trip to Asia and Oz
in the 1980's I took my wife with me. After 2 weeks in Hong Kong and
Singapore, we flew to Sydney. She stated that it will be nice to get
somewhere that we can understand the people. After a coupe of days in Oz,
she said, I could understand the Asian English better than these people. We
still laugh at that. And my former business partner lives in Melbourne (at
least 30 years) and when we see them over here, we still laugh about the Oz
accents.

I spent some time with the Australian SAS types and it took a while to
get used to not only their accents, but the way they talked.

It was interesting to say the least.

Later,
