Good Letter in dompost this a.m.
Why all Santa and no nativity in the media.

Good column by Karl on the finger pointers at Otago University.
The Botany department is a bit slack too.
Big story about the  new app for recognising native plants.
cool
groovy
wow

crap!
why isn't the Botany Department at Otago University doing some finger pointing at the mornons who go around spraying weedkiller on everything in the land.
why dont the finger pointers in the ehalth department put two and two together and get people to bend over an d pul out a weed instead of overlaying this patina of poison on the country.

Got a hardback largeprint copy of Jack  by Jack Welch.
nothing like it in NZ
here they all talk the talk but nobody walks the walk.
there are no real businesses here.
just paternalistic peculiums run for the psycological satisfaction of the proprietor
yep.
they dont employ A's either.
instead they complicate and confuse and employ C's just in case somebody gets a bright idea about anything!
anyway:
going to colorado Baby.
sorry but I cant ake you!
