Seen in Wellington on Monday

Inner city - just don’t mention 15 minutes!
The Scottish comedian, Billy Connolly, had a wonderful take on The Old Firm.

I spent 4 hours in the domestic terminal at WGN on Monday waiting for my flight - having left my mask at home! I seem to have come thru ok. 🤞
The EcoTanks are great and very economical printers IF you print in colour regularly. Else you end up needing to get the jets cleaned at, for me, $125 a time (twice) in ChCh. I’m getting the impression I need to print a small sample sheet every 3/4 days.
We have 240v in NZ so I can overnight charge about 1/4 of our 64KW battery in our KIA Niro. I’d imagine that if I had a long commute that I’d accept that overnight charging wasn’t enough and use a public charger to get it back up - only when necessary. Next house needs solar though.
Doesn’t that suggest you have to *first* vote in your primaries so you don’t just get a Dino?
Let me guess. Swing states! Especially in counties marginally Blue.
Keeps moving the money “upwards” to the 1% - and otherwise “sorted.” 🤷🏻
“It was a dark and stormy knight…”
Used Hard Mode today for the first time and got it in 4. First Hard Mode badge! Yay! Wasn’t keen to tempt fate until I got my run of 500 badge. Will stick to Hard Mode for now. 🤞
I still can’t hear “Have I the right?” (Honeycombs) without thinking of the night in 1971 when my best man told me about his fiancée’s tragic road accident and his subsequent suicide attempt. It was playing on his stereo.
I drank a lot of brandy that night yet still drove home seemingly unimpaired.
It didn’t deserve 15 mins of TV1 News tonight! Well - unless it was to distract from more Coalition shenanigans. 🤷🏻
Is he that gullible?
As they say…
The penis mightier than the sword! 😌
Infinite Youth - isn’t PThiel into that outcome?
A treatment system run by an overseas company with a turd rate reputation? 🤷🏻
Well - at least Brownlee didn’t respond with a “Don’t you know who I am!” 🤷🏻
So - Evie didn’t have any udder things to report on?
With maple surple! (A bit of cream would’ve been nice too.) Welcome to Lent!
PS 4 for Wordle after wrong 50:50 at 3. 🤷🏻
Dentist cost me NZ$810 the other day - broken fillings (1 large, 1 small) plus annual checkup and a quick de-tartar. 😢
Like yanking the $9 toll suggestion, another attempt by the Coalition of Chaos to “protect” their AKL electorates.
Regret not exploring the area around Hanksville. We had stayed the night near Torrey and were driving to Moab - cramming in quick detours into the Arches plus Canyonlands. A bit much!
Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an expression of the beauty of geometry before!
What I find sad about the whole elections system globally is that voting is ultimately the ONLY real civic power/right that I have.
That power/right is something that should be protected for all citizens - and cherished by the voter’s government and local authorities.
The definition of democracy?
Here in NZ no voter ID is required other than to state your full name so you can be looked up on the roll and the name crossed off. (All rolls are later crossed checked)
You can also cast a special vote if you are away from your electorate on holiday etc.
When we go away for a holiday, I take the master backup drive (3 1/2” portable) with me while the daily backup drives go in the fire safe - which is also pretty burglary proof.
About as much as one can do.
Travel costs? Similar to staging a neutral round in Perth? Accommodation costs probably gouge wherever.
No doubt govt will tout it as being great for AKL - their happy electoral hunting ground.
