I see you're reading Gregory McGuire. Read Wicked a couple years back. Wasn't quite my cup of tea, but I did like the alternate perspective he offered to Oz.

Actually that's my dad's book - I haven't read it but maybe I will since you pointed that out.

why does southern Australia have such weird weather?

why does southern Australia have such weird weather?

I think the degradation of the ozone layer over this area has led to more tropical climes down here, but we've also got the antarctic blasts coming from the south, so they are locked in a never ending battle which produces things like what we saw on xmas day (28°C and humid as fuck, with an hour long hail storm in the afternoon, producing hailstones the size of tennis balls in some areas). I'm only guessing though. It may well be because of aliens.

I'm so glad I don't live in Melbourne.

Yeah I hear the weather is nice in Perth, shame it's out in the middle of Bumfuck Nowhere though

Haha... That's true, and we don't nearly have as many bands come here like you guys do. We actually had a pretty bad hail and electrical storm a couple of weeks ago, I was over in New South Wales at the time.

Hailstones in my mate's front yard.

That's some rather serious shit.

I think there's hail in Texas at least, far as the U.S. goes. They also have tornados, which are pretty nuts.

Since I moved to Kansas City in 2005, we have had at least 4 bad hail storms, several more that were less serious.

Glad I don't live in an area with tornadoes. I drove through Joplin during the drive from Chicago to Vegas back in late May and witnessed some of the devastation, it was totally unreal:

we didnt have very many tornados watches/warnings last summer. pretty rare

I got this new head piece thing... I am a little obsessed with it... enjoy.

And before anyone thinks that being under the influence of marijuana could contribute to the number of fatal car accidents, a recent study is proving otherwise:

An amazing study authored by professors D. Mark Anderson (University of Montana) and Daniel Rees (University of Colorado) shows that traffic deaths have been reduced in states where medical marijuana is legalized.

According to their findings, the use of medical marijuana has caused traffic related fatalities to fall by nearly nine percent in states that have legalized medical marijuana (via The Truth About Cars).

The study notes that this is equal to the effect raising the drinking age to 21 had on reducing traffic fatalities.
