Never really noticed it, but i kind of have a dislike about 1st person. I don't like books in first and I don't like to write in first.
I noticed this when i was rereading an old story of mine that was in first. It's funny how first makes you really kind of feel you are writing a story about yourself, not someone else.
Just a funny note about a glitch in my internal software. Not really worth the discussion thread.

In case you hadn't noticed 13 million acres of Australia have been burnt to a crisp. To put it in context that's 6 times the size of the fires in California this year and it's only the first month of summer here.

Of course, how silly of me. The greens arranged a four year drought and then orchestrated a series of extreme weather events of unprecedented strength and ferocity. I must be stupid for not seeing it.

The greens saw to it that living in the wilderness wasn't managed---brush not cleared, utilities not upgraded, and so on.

I can't speak for the whole world, but I know there are many people who are praying for Australia, and grieving for the terrible losses.
We have heard that there has been some rain. I pray it will continue, and that it will be enough to make a difference.

First: 100 or so firefighters have arrived from the US and Canada over the last few days. Heartfelt thanks to all of them.
Yes, there has been drizzle over the last few days (about 5mm) but not enough to dampen the fires. What it does do is give the firefighters a bit of a rest and time to try and strengthen containment lines etc.
Thanks to all for their thoughts.
One last thing: Friday we expect more 43C heat which may come with strong winds. Bugger!
