WTF Australia??

Guess what natural disaster is currently rampaging across the top half of New South Wales? 

Go on, guess!

Did you guess flood? A gold star for you.

Now guess what the latest threat from the fires down in Victoria is? 

Contamination of Melbourne's very marginal water supplies.

Oh Australia, you are so hilarious!

An update post on the Victorian fires later tonight, and for anyone wondering when the plague of locusts is going to descend, that was last November.

Hilarious in that not-at-all-funny and you-can-stop-this-shit-any-time-kthanks sort of way. *hugs*

My heart goes out to all. Stay safe.

I was halfway through a big fire update post when the news came through that a firefighter had died when a tree fell on his tanker. And I just had to stop and have a little rant at the universe.

This is one of the reasons I am an atheist, because I want the Christians and Muslims and Jews I am friends with to feel they have a great and powerful god, who is, in most cases, merciful and just. Whereas the world I live in could only be explained through a theistic view as being governed by one sick fucker.

Maybe the Vikings were right and just put Loki in the wrong part of their pantheon ...

One Ancient Egyptian myth has the world created through what Victorians coyly referred to as an act of self love. If I were ever tempted by a religion, that's the one I'd go for.
