G'day,
The mention of a soot belcher stomping in the Central West today did prompt me to charge up me camera batteries.
Alas, I should have taken more notice of the weather forecast on tv last nite.
Total Fire Bans being enforced in many regions of NSW due to the conditions.
A number of blazes raging up north.
But, stupidly I decided to motor east to intercept the hystericals.
Imagine my surprise when a pair of weasels shuddered past.
No smoke signals on the horizon.
YAWN.
So, I motored back home again.
We are warned that our summer will be nasty.
So, I guess that will put the kybosh on any soot belching for at least six months.
Steve.
