   We do not need to prepare for uncertain events, because, barring a brief interregnum between the 1930s and the 70s, the state religion declares these cannot occur.

   @tregeagle That would actually be nice. I love maps. There's (or was) a map shop in North Parramatta that I never went into for fear of never wanting to leave. Assuming you have room to hang onto it for as long as it takes me to get out to #theYabba. Could be a while, the way crises are piling up at the moment. Stone me! https://microblog.mjd.id.au/attachment/35532

   After nearly twenty years, so much of the #Sydney CBD looks the way I remember it, and I suppose more or less the way it's been since before the war, that it breaks my heart not be able to be there whenever I feel like it. Suburbia is ephemeral. Sandstone, slate, and marble are for the ages, pending continual restoration works. Ah, scaffolding, plywood plastered with union lo…

   Nobody does lockdown like #AU. Though when I were a lad it was called "Saturday afternoon". Locked down at Nana and Pop's art deco house with Adora Cream Wafers, Arnott's Savoury Shapes, and shag pile carpeting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pPcGyBEUjc

   @tregeagle My God that looks disturbing. Going to save it for a day when I'm feeling a bit less fragile.

   Was directly threatened by F-bomb Freddy tonight. Have never said a word to him. Still he saw me at my door, pointed at me, and let loose a stream of obscenities ending with "I've got my f***ing eye on you, ya c***!" Bit disappointed, really. Why does he have to lazily reach for the c-word, when he's such a master of the f-word? Just pandering to new fads, the f***ing sell-out!

    Brittanica? Sheer luxury! When I were a lad, before I stopped bothering with homework altogether, I used my mother's old sets of encyclopedia from the 1950's. There was one 8-volume set of world encyclopedia, and a 3-volume encyclopedia of Australia. Sri Lanka was called Ceylon, the sun never set on the Empire/Commonwealth, there was this awfully interesting new social system…

    I used to use the #QueryPath library. It is for #PHP what #jQuery is for #Javascript, allowing you to target #HTML elements, attributes, etc. using #CSS selectors. https://github.com/technosophos/querypath https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-php-querypath/ http://querypath.org

    @tregeagle Over a month! "Fit for human habitation" requires fibre optic Internet. In fact it begins there, and works outwards from water and sewage to the little luxuries like a roof, walls, doors, and such. #NBN

    F-bomb Freddy has been in fine form today. Effing up a storm since dawn, then took a defiant swim in the #covid19 closed communal pool. Now it looks like he's seen off yet another visiting former cellmate with the traditional "You 'eard me! Fark orf out of 'ere!" farewell. Ah, the #Sawtell lifestyle! #Aloha

    @tregeagle Drive safe. Or if you can't manage that, I hear fast is also good. Plus an anonymous source high up the security establishment tells me that in the current crisis, we've all carte blanche to swig straight from the gin bottle as we go, which should help pass the time.
