Can't believe I read the whole bloody article about rebuilding that section of the Maze. I would say it's not usually my kind of thing but it was so good! Shared it with my husband who is an engineer and will probably nerd out over it more than me. 😁 thanks!
Oh, Rick, I’m coming out the other end of a father’s day lunch with my brother-in-law and sister, with no progeny present, and this is the highlight of my day! Thank you, I’ll need to re-read tomorrow, but for now I’m stoked!
“it will never hurt as much as watching cowards in positions of power stumble through the weeds of their own incompetence”. So many people who are individually competent in government at the moment, and yet THIS. Thank you for encapsulating three decades of voting history for me.
The tree story made me really sad, like devastated.
I was (like the other Jo above!) also laughing about the karate and snail references in your article on Saturday. I love that you got the snail one in there, in particular. For others reading pleasure: “Tasmanian-based election analyst Kevin Bonham, a recognised expert on land snails in the state who had just returned from a day collecting specimens when he spoke with The Saturday Paper”
Rick, you always seem to articulate clearly how I’m feeling about this disappointing Government..you’ve said it all so I won’t go on about all my peak disappointments..there are many..then when I reach your observations I’m taken in a new wholesome direction..so thank you once again..pleased re Pearl..take care Rick you are helping many of us stay sane…
I don’t know the conventions behind choosing headshots, but I agree the Pearl one is good (as are many of your selfies, and the Fassifern newspaper one).
In the pic of little you, what is the Blue heeler doing, or rather, feeling?!
I had just read your saturday paper article and was laughing at the karate and snail references whilst shaking my head at the entire article.....then I read this.....no words for the census debacle. None.
“…motley crew of soul-chipped, Dulux paint Natural Whites” will forever live rent free in my head. Thank you!
Just swap in the photo holding Pearl for the author head shot and you’re good to go 👍

It’s so good though right!! Like an engineering thriller.
Aww c’mon Rick, Pearl is family! Make an exception! #FreePearl 🐓

Now you’ve made my day!
Love you, Rick 😎

Oh the excruciating contortions and compromises of politics 😬
We all need a good dose of ‘The World’s Biggest Engineering Disasters’
Agree. I'd buy any book with your selfie with Pearl as the author's head shot.
Yes but would anybody else!
For defs
Yes, of course!

Thanks for the link to that Maze highway story, I enjoyed it and the engineer in the family will appreciate it!
Spot on Rick. Another shameful episode of spineless-ness from a weak and aimless government.

The irony of citing "cost of living pressures" as an excuse for excluding demographics known to have worse cost of living pressures is infuriating.
Feeling the tragedy of the Promepheus tree anecdotes, but you certainly wove it in beautifully.
Hi to Pearl - and to the cute tonka truck boy! Who knew that speed bridge repair could be such a wild ride! Wooo hooo!
Thank you Rick, as ever.

Ans your head shot is great - you look earnest!!
