Reply #14: And believe me David... [View All]

... I understand what you are saying. I also understand why you are so tight right now. It isn't any fun being near fires at all.

I understand only to well the devastation bush fires can cause. Being in Australia I have been witness to a great many large fires. One of the fires that hold a lot of bad memories for me is the Ash Wednesday bush fires back in '82 here. Where we had parts of NSW, Vic, and SA burning at the same time.

And believe me David, Sappho understand how a lot of people are truly stuggling right now in the USA. She hasn't worked since December of 2000, and is now kicking herself hard for it because she knows I am facing having to live in a shelter next year, unless some luck comes our way fast.

And I don't blame you for choosing the wilderness to live in. Sappho and I realy would like to settle in a little town here in Victoria called Euroa one day. So we can be amongst the roo's and koala's, wild emu's, cockatoo's, you name it.

Hang in there, my friend.
