Viagra Falls????

Raggedy post #2

Gee I don’t know if I can keep up with the pace of all those Questions (you should have asked more, now I’m just gonna ad-lib) did manage to get one question from OOLOTH who wanted to know whether I’m a deserter or a fringed lizard,….. or something like that.

Unlike the US Australia is split into only 6 states and 2 territories, our east coast is home to about 2/3rds of our population in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland, we have one island state, Tasmania, West Australia which takes up almost 1/3rd of the land mass (and you thought Texas was big) South Australia, at least 50% of which is uninhabitable (desert) Northern Territory, and Australian Capital Territory, which houses our Capital Canberra and not much else.

BTW if you head any further south than Tasmania you come to
Antarctica so our southern regions are pretty cold during winter
however we only get snow in the southern mountains, to the
north our neighbors include Indonesia and the climate is sub-tropical.

I have digressed slightly, I live in Queensland, sub-tropical, 150 miles from Brisbane the state capital, about 45 miles from the Pacific Ocean, and about 500 miles from the nearest desert.

See I told you that you should have asked questions, you wouldn’t have had to go back to school for geography lessons then, I’m very hopeful that Raggedy will rejoin us shortly so with any luck at all you won’t have to put up with any more from me …. unless you choose to visit holtieshouse…. you will certainly be most welcome if you do.


A final joke.

Three old guys are out walking.

First one says "Windy, isn't it?"

Second one says "No, it's Thursday!"

Third one says "So am I. Let's go get a beer."


That's short, sweet and COOL.

I never thought of that before. You can go to Anarctica for a picnic, it's so close....
