We got a blackout. My kids haven’t been through one before. Actually my kids don’t know how good they’ve really had it, because everything works without fail.
As a kid growing up, blackouts happened a lot and then the infrastructure became stable and they stopped. But the storm passing through was crazy and the infrastructure is now old, unable to cope with the demand of a growing population.
And man, our weather in Australia has been even crazier. We get hot, humid days and then a crazy storm in the afternoon. Sometimes hail and cyclonic winds. We used to get these kinds of days before, sporadically, but these days, it’s every fucking day.
We’ve basically become a tropical climate across all parts of Australia, but hey, according to the the politicians who do the bidding for the corporations, our world is fine. All of the damage the Industrial Age has done to our environment is nothing because their bottom lines look great.
At the moment we are sweltering through another extreme heat wave. The last heatwave a few weeks ago brought a dust storm with it and so did the one a few weeks before that.
And I’m thinking of a city ablaze, a town on fire and how the woman who foretold it, we called her a liar.
Time for some Deep Purple.

Relaxing in air con at home at the moment, praying that the power grid holds it all together under the strain
Well today here in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada we are sitting at -41! Yep thats right Minus 41! We are at the exact opposite end of the weather from you Pete!
U cannot go outside here for too long as Frostbite to the skin can happen in minutes!
Extreme opposites okay.
Frostbite vs sunburn
I’ll probably take sunburn over frostbite
Indeed, time for some DP.
Coming out of nowhere
Driving like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
Because it’s coming your way
Nice
We are actually due for a change tomorrow with rain… but at the moment we are recording the hottest temps for December around the world
