    It’s almost as if the climate is changing. No that can’t be it, Andrew Bolt insisted that it couldn’t be the case. It’s not as if Bolt is a fucking idiot, a dumb boy, a silly man who’s opinions aren’t worth the toilet paper they’re written on. No he’s definitely not an oxygen thief.

    I wonder what was going on 112 years ago in Hobart. Old city. Probably whiskey drinking down a hot and still lane, lit by whale blubber powered lamps, with people contemplating how it could get this hot.

      You might need to recalibrate your mental chronometer because Hobart began to have electricity in 1898, 126 years ago, and they had gas lighting before that starting in 1857 ish, some 160-plus years ago.

      Whiskey drinking, most definitely though.

    I was expecting a hot day (by Tassie standards, being from Far NQ originally all those years ago) up here in the NE as well but my little weather station showed 24.6 as the max for the day. But it is why I moved here, cooler, wetter, 300m ASL.
