@Scott th Ratbag - briefly: I really don't know the 'ins' and 'outs' of this story, excuse the alliterative language - and I don't wish to know, so I should not have commented.
Our philosophy 'instructor' at the 'Learning Center' who is not qualified, except in his job, (which has nothing to do with philosophy) , but is fairly conservative, and wants to point out G.d's design in everything, (he is a practicing Catholic) - really got into the legal argument with the males in our group; the three females did not participate. Being mature women, we have had our share of troubles, some good, some bad, with men - (and they probably with us) - to know, it's part of the human condition to be confused about sexual consent, flirting etc. etc. - but I have observed that certain men, particularly if repressed in some way, seem to have the gourmet's 'taste' for discussing stories of that kind . . . I won't say any more - HotCopper is an example of that phenomenon . . .
Nuff said - yes, our weather is by now really sad - nature seems to be dying all around me - my house still has some native forest trees, and the back fence borders on some native bush. When I am 'cleaning' my backyard, it's mostly scooping up very dry leaves, which are crumbling into dust.
Anyone who still disputes that climate change is happening (and my philosophy instructor does do that) is blind and stupid, luckily the young ones mostly 'get it' - I reckon the World will just scrape in, at 5 Minutes to Midnight!

Here is hoping!!

namaste to you too! ❤️

well as a Catholic I dare say he would teach St Augustine and others.... but it would be interesting to hear his take on Aristotle. the church tried for many centuries to spin Aristotle to support a heavenly spirit.

but he does sound like an ordinary 'bloke'. heaven defend us from such men.

the south WA seems to have copped what we had in 2018/19 and the fires that sprang up out of nowhere. not a nice experience. but it seems they learned from our experience and dealt with the fires better. hard to see that clearly from my distance.

blistering heat. and very very dry. its not a good look for the future if it continues with record rises in the global averages each year as it has so far.
