g'day dave,
to tell you the truth dave i could care less about it. oh i know it will be
a boon to big business for shipping freight long distance and the train
buffs will enjoy the ride but when you spend all day wiring the electrics
for train carriages, as i do, it all seems a bit mundane. it's sort of like
how the mechanic's car is the worst in town or the painter's house usually
has the paint flaking off it, when you work on it all day you don't care for
it your offtime. i'm a bit surprised you heard about it over there, i always
thought anything that happened down under wasn't particularly newsworthy up
the northern hemisphere unless it was lunatic perpetrating a massacre or
some idiot taking his baby son for a walk in a crocodile pen. guess he never
heard the song "never smile at a crocodile" ;-). anyway how are things up
there. is it cold enough for you? Brrrrrr
