Odd #clouds this evening.

Furrowed clouds at dusk, dyed pink and orange by the setting sun.

Ever noticed how a cat's totally honest love for you increases on cold days?

I have to take a bunch of teens down to Elixir Music House in Cairns to watch some bands. I've never heard of the place, but I was ready to be the one old guy in a crowd of children.

I just looked at their Facebook page, I now think I'll be on the young side.

"We are currently experiencing a higher than normal volume of calls ..."

They invent robots to answer the phone, then almost immediately teach them to lie.

Mate. Just buy a reasonably sized car.

Six years I've lived in the desert,
And every night I dream of the sea.

The graffiti is more refined down this end of town.

A confession. I am fully supportive of trans people, and have been for some time. Someone very close to me is in the early stages of their journey. But I cannot fet my head around the "they/them" pronouns. I try, but the language centre of my brain rebels. I think the problem is that it's plural. "She does", "he does", "they do". It doesn't compute to my brain. I'm not trying to make any point here, it's just where I find myself.

Anyway, I will continue to try to be a good ally. I'll master the language eventually.

Good god. My 6 year old just used the voice command for the TV to play Teen Titans Go. The TV agreed happily and brought up Guyana: The Tragedy of Jim Jones.

This dragonfly was busy moulting or being dead or something. It ignored me completely. The intricacies of the pattern on its abdomen are awe-inspiring.

Things I accomplished cutting down the (now wasp-less) tree limb with an axe today:
*3 blisters
*skinned elbow
*aggravated damaged nerve
*sore hands
*broken axe handle.
Things I did not accomplish:
*Cutting off the limb.
I've cut 2/3 of the way through, damn thing is defying gravity like a Road Runner cartoon.

I AM EATING A HOT CROSS BUN IN DECEMBER AND I AM NOT SORRY

One of the bridges on the edge of town got wiped out completely, taking the water pipes with it. Now a lot of Mareeba is isolated, and has no tapwater. My house is okay, but there's a lot of older people out that way.

One of three roads off of the Tablelands is out of action for a very long time. Big wet.

I had to rush home from work before post-cyclone rain cut me off from my children. Now I have nothing to do. Single parent life.

Clicking Refresh in the BOM site repeatedly. I'm not getting a cyclone update, but my finger biceps is getting huge.

It's still remarkably calm and mild, but things are about to get fun if the satellite image is accurate. #TCJasper

Ooh, we cave category 2 again. Still only occasional gusts and showers at home. The next hour will be telling. #TCJasper

I had to stop and take one last photo of this excellent Dr Seuss tree down near the Mareeba hospital. Who knows what it will look like after tomorrow. #CycloneJasper

I haven't seen the bower bird bower around the corner from my house in a while. The little bird hasn't stopped improvements. Here we see a solid road of white things leading to the bower, darker objects and a bit of green at the front to really help the foreshortening illusion. And on one side - and only on one side - of the bower, there is a modest collection of red things. I'm not sure what they add, but the bird likes the effect.

Talked with the ex-wife about divorce, custody, that sort of thing. We remain civil and amenable, but nothing much was decided. And I feel emotionally like a big oozing pile of toxic pitch.

Life is hard.

I'm sitting in café, working on my laptop like some kind of Melbourne person.

At home, much closer to the actual fires. No filters, the fire isn't that far from my house. Not at risk yet, but preparing just in case we have to go tonight.

I just found this on the body of a guard I murdered for fun. Baldurs Gate knows how to hurt you.

Some cats like cardboard boxes. Mine is their sworn enemy.
