This comment made me laugh...because it is so true:


Why does a "storm" of 30 years ago turn into a "national catastrophe" today? Because we choose to make it so. One example I have observed in person:

A tree is blown down and blocks a road...

1975:
Of their own accord, a local logging crew stop what they're doing and have the whole lot chainsawed, cleared, loaded and on sale as logs in 45 minutes.

Today:
Police arrive and look at tree. Fire Brigade arrives to look at tree. Council Arrives to look at tree. Local press arrives to photograph councillors looking at tree. Police, Firemen and council each carry out separate "risk assessments".
All wait for TV to arrive to FILM everyone looking at tree. THEN they call a logging crew.

I was really embarrassed at how this might look to anyone who's suffered typhoons or hurricanes. I mean I do feel sorry for anyone who gets involved in flooding or wind damage etc. It's well over blown (HAH) though.

I haven't felt a thing yet. Been lovely out, infact.

Nice, UK is finally going to get to ditch the WizFE? I knew Simu was slow, but it took them this long to make a UK version?

That's what I was thinking too! When can we expect a new SF for the US? Maybe an OS X version?
