Well now, what an interesting time it has been. For the record, before I

As some of you may be aware. Interpret that as all of you that bother to
read this wonderful burst of irregularly published literature. Which should
be all of you. I have just recently departed Hobart. Now it was an....
interesting visit. Indeed, the interestingness of the matter occurred
before we even reached Hobart, while we were still ( Read more... )
