On the Bottom Half

Can't think of a Witty Title... if any of the previous ones were witty.

About the 'Plattery' or 'Platypusary'... It is an enclosure in the Melbourne Zoo where they keep their platypi. They cannot be kept as pets... In a rather surprising condition, most native Australian wildlife is protected even if population numbers don't yet warrant protection. How's that for forward thinking? Anyone want to go hunting for wolves? Grizzlies? Anyway, male playpi have poisonous spikes on the insides of their hind limbs, so you wouldn't want to hug one too closely. Regarding T-dawg's letter, I got it on Monday! Thanks for the pics and expect it back in the mail soon! What a treat to get some mail from you guys!

A one-day cricket match runs about $73 for deluxe seats - Bruce and I really went to town... - but TicketMaster advertises other seats for $5 (kids under 16) up to $58 otherwise. If you want a multiple day pass, you could pay $92, which would give you admission for all three one-day matches at the Telstra dome (13 & 20 Jan, 3 Feb). However, the seats are no bigger than typical Centrium seats, except that most have a 'comfy' padded coating, so a single one-day match is lots for most people's boney tushies. Hi and thanks to Chris G.!! How's he doing anyway? I do miss him!

I forgot to mention the 'hoons' that were at the cricket... There were two people taken away in handcuffs and a couple of fists thrown in anger a couple sections above us... Rowdy friggin' cricket fans... Jacob's gonna speak gooder French than me when I get back.

Other than that, 'kayak' is a palindrome.

Sorry, just had to get that one out. I have an interview on Friday for a hotel job in Melbourne. That should be interesting. Frankly, I don't think they'll be interested in me after I mention that I have to be done working at the end of March. I wasn't expecting it to take this long to navigate the vagaries of employment agencies, but I guess I'll see what happens.
