Howdy.
Literal tragedy with Cyclone Gabrielle causing death, damage and mayhem to much of the north island but not us. The curious cases of really-quite-identifiable-flying-objects getting exploded by the American Air Force. Trump's re-ascendancy. Jimmy Carter and the myth of a "good president". Plenty more!
