Cousin Balki's Melbourne Rant Thread.

the moon was pretty great last night.

I missed it thanks to this hellish flu I have. All of the aches and fevers, but the hallucinatory powers of codral night have deserted me.

didn’t get to see it rise - thanks, clouds - but later in the evening it was pretty spectacular. cirrocumulus withdrawing across it like a wave around a rock.

^ That’s beautiful, man.

thanks man. limited sleep makes me wordy.

Cool. Can you do a couple of chapters of the bio I’m writing then?

sure. mind you wordy does not necessarily = coherent.

i am unfortunately not nerdy enough to name the types of clouds, but did notice that the moon looked particularly nice last night.

year 8 geography, my friend.

You paid attention in Year 8 geography?

you kinda have to when you’re teaching it.

WTF do clouds have to do with geography???
i learned about clouds in grade 3 from a weather nerd teacher. most of it’s escaped by brain now.
cumulus are the fluffy ones, right?

pretty much

Bit slow on this one. The mounted police have had a regular presence at the Royal Pde/Grattan St intersection this week, including the ped crossing just before.

Haven’t seen them booking anyone, but I’m sure their not there requesting skids.

it was windy today, but the sun was nice. apparently it’s going to be the last day above 20 degrees in some time.

I thought the exact same thing today & wore shorts for that reason.

I lost my beanie on Sunday, shit timing really, will need to find a new one.

anyone else noticed the delightful gaseous odour at the corner of pigdon & rathdowne lately? highlight of my commute…

I saw them pull over a few Taxis last week on Elizabeth st. I find it funny when they flash there lights and chase down the taxi.

i noticed that the other day. i thought it was FJ. we eat a lot of beans.

Lots and Lots and LOTS of mushrooms on the median strips on Alexandra Pde and also in various spots on the strip up the middle of Canning St. I see them as I run, but I’ve never picked one. Theyre mostly innocent looking little white guys. Dont eat them on my recommendation, though.

Every day on my way to work. I just assumed I rode past after xbbx drives through there.
