what looks like is gonna be another dry hot summer has started. last time i checked, about 43 C today, with very little humidity. all the grass in the paddocks near us is officially yellow with no life. in the main street, the road was so hot the fire brigade was hosing it down with cold water to make it drivable.
man i wish i lived in QL

Yeah, pretty hot here mate. I doesn't get much hotter than 30c down here in Tas due to the constant sea-breeze. Still better than snow I guess. The beaches are packed with tourists.

ahh, your lucky you live near a beach aswell. living in tassy wouldn't be that bad i reckon. went to launceston once, nice place
heck, i dont even have a decent river to swim in, its contamanated with some sort of weed

I live in the USA. So it really gets to be summer in Australia when we have winter up here?
Please confirm this notion.
Also, which way does the water rotate when it goes down a sink drain?
Which way when you flush?

Just be glad you are warm there. It is getting chilly here. Have a great summer!

yes. much rather be in winter than summer though.
interestingly enough, it doesnt go any way, it just goes down and even if it did spin, the way it span wouldn't be determined by the magnetic poles of the earth

Ha ha! "If its yellow - it's mellow! If it's brown - flush it down!"

I'm just to the north east of you only about 500,000 miles. Look for the pacific North West of the US, Seattle & Puget sound. It's 45*F a little windy and wet. It could very easily be this way for the next 3 months. then if Spring comes there may be 3 more months of the same. Then if summer comes there could be little change.
----Danny,

made me think of this from Family Guy.

Warm out today. Warm yesterday. Even warmer today.
Met her on my CB Said her name was Mimi / Sounded like an angel come to Earth (Come to Earth) / When I went to meet her Man, you should've seen her / Twice as tall as me Three times the girth. (Girth) / Oh, my fat baby loves to eat. (Loves to Eat) / A big ol' Buddha belly and her breasts swing past her feet (Feet) / My fat baby loves to eaaaaaattttt / My Big Ol' Fat *** Baby loves to eat.

My house is at like 20 degrees, or at least my room is. I still manage to overheat somehow.

You guys are lucky, here in the western part of New York we got almost 12 inches of snow last night and its only 25 degrees F. So now I have to dress nice and warm to go out and plow with my 4wheeler, but its better than shoveling. Enjoy your summer.

Two days ago it was 52 degrees and sunny - today it is 18 degrees, windy as can be and the sun isn't helping even a little. Winter is finally upon us.

Danny, you can't be 500,000 miles from anyone! It's only 25,000 miles around the earth's equator!
