Peter,
No pink lemonade??? No Barnes & Noble's???? How do you survive????

If you can buy maraschino cherries in the grocery there, (ya know, the
bright red ones in the glass jar full of sugar water?) just add some
of that juice to regular lemonade. Instant pink lemonade! (And
actually, IIRC, it's the way pink lemonade was originally
invented/made.)

But no Barnes & Noble? Shudder!

Do you have any idea how they're made? If you did, you'd
probably never want to eat one again.

pink lemonade?

Australia

OH, nough said.



OTOH I only have a 15 minute commute
to work with not a single traffic light. Can't have everything.

I have a 30' walk to work.


Worse than no pink lemonade, there's no Borders or Barnes & Noble


We've got both, 15 min. drive , 3 traffic lights.
But my boat is 2 hours away

New Zealand is the *real* 3rd world place. We're 1.5 world.

So do I - when I'm at sea.

Yeah - had that when I lived in Tucson but the nearest real water was
in Mexico. Not a good trade from my POV. I go to Sydney or Melbourne
4-5 times a year, there's a couple Borders bookshops in both cities
plus other specialty shops.

But my boat is 2 hours away

Mine is 100m from my front door and I'm putting a mooring in that's in
sight from my living room window, maybe 400m away. If/when I get a
bigger boat, that's where it'll be.

Normal lemonade, raspberry cordial and 2 oz of Absolut vodka might be
worth trying as a substitute for pink lemonade.

Aircraft, Amazon, Absolut vodka and Bundaberg rum.

In your living room?

More than worth trying...I have made similar...(couldn't afford Absolut at the time...probably used soemthing glocky like
Mohawk)

Peter you sound bitter.

Nah, I've been to NZ once. Great scenery, nice people but... I can
recognise reality when it stares me in the face. You're a lot further
behind than Australia is when it comes to amenities and standard of
living, and we're somewhat behind the USA, Singapore, Japan and Europe
but in front of just about everywhere else . Once you factor in
lifestyle, Australia is miles ahead of everywhere but some pockets of
the USA. You guys have a good climate and lovely environment but lack
the critical mass of people for a 1st World economy and are doing your
best to bugger what economy you do have. That isn't intended as a
flame, it's a fact. Tasmania would be in exactly the same situation
(actually worse) if it wasn't a state of Australia yet I chose to live
here. Eventually Australia and Australians are going to own NZ; we'll
have your moribund railway system soon.

I can fly to Sydney in less than 2 hours and Melbourne in less than 1.
Both cities offer pretty much everything any 1st World city can offer.
You have to fly to Sydney or Melbourne too except it takes longer and
because you kept letting in migrants who used NZ as a waystation to
Australia, we've been tightening up on your access to Australia and
will keep doing so. I think this is a pity but if you want to complain
about us doing it, look to yourselves for the root cause.

I'm never bitter; life's too much fun.

Well, duh! If I had the bigger boat, it'd *be* the living room. Get
