I was just taking the laundry off the line and it reminded me of an event Mrs Oz had about four weeks ago and I don't think I mentioned it here.

She was taking off some laundry off while I was sweeping the path on a Saturday afternoon and she let out a little shriek. Crawling across the path right by her feet was a redback spider than had fallen out of the clothes pins basket when she reached in to grab some. The redback is a black widow that has evolved a red strip over a couple tens of millions of years isolation on the dry continent. With antivenin it won't kill unless your very old or very young but it will hurt like hell.

That's a mean spider to only pick on the very young and the very old.

[OzJohnnie]

Ha!  Who really likes the very young and very old anyway?  The spider's almost doing us a favour.

Hey, now ... my mom is 97 and my grandson is 13 months.  I like them both very much!

[OzJohnnie]

Then don't make them hang out the laundry in Australia if you know what's good for 'em.

Isn't that the species that bit you in the forehead a year or so ago?

I don't know what bit me then. It was in the night. But I doubt it was a redback because I read that the symptoms are pretty gruesome. There's another spider crawling around, particularly in the woodpile, that looks just like a redback but no stripe. I bet it was one of those nasty buggers. Just because they look mean.

Does anyone remember when the Tommies are going to Italy?  I'm genuinely looking forward to a report from our mate, CT.  I reckon it will be a good time.

(And my heart is with the bennie, but my loathed hatred is with the Blackhawks who seem to continually break my heart.  I'll have to go Blackhawks 4-2.)

Here a some links...it appears you can watch the game online and follow them via twitter.
Did they really have those hideous Italia jerseys made for the trip or is that just photoshop.

I'm leaning towards not photoshop.

That would mean they did a special photo session just for this trip and jerseys. 
Once again this is suppose to be D3. 

[OzJohnnie]

I won't fault the Tommies for having program ambition and endeavouring to make D3 a little more slick.  It's fun for everyone.

I do, however, fault them for every other ill in the world up to and including imitation bacon bits.
