If you want an "improved situation" don't plan on coming to Australia Robert.  Us workers seem to be a minority here as well.  Did that sound political?  I'll just keep making puzzles to stay sane.

I don't know, I have been tempted as of late to move to Austrailia just to join the police force.  Being gone for weeks at a time out on the open plains on horseback seems like a dream come true.  You live the romantic cowboy sheriff lifestyle.  Bernard comes all the way to the U.S. just to do what you do for a couple of weeks of vacation.  Seems odd that one man's career is another's vacation.

The graas is always greener on the other side of the fence! Why?  There's more barnyard matter there so it grows better, until you step in it! Grin

Never mind a bailout Robert, our government get 35% of the sale price of every single new car sold, plus the value added tax on the deal. &%#&^$%^*(%&(&*

All places have their ups and downs.  Canada is nice, but a bit too cold for me, and there they have to lease the English language from Brittian, and what the hell is all about that "nerf" suspending parliment in order to keep from being voted out of office (talk about political screw ups).  The Netherlands are nice, but with global warming and rising sea levels, who is to say they will even be there in 10 years.  Now Cosa Rica sounds nice, and Eric was going to move there at one time.

Still, things are pretty corrupt over here.  You have governors selling senate seats to the higest bidder, untraceable bailouts, lobbiests paying off politicians, wars being started to increase oil prices (for the president) and ammunition sales (for the Vice -president).  We have lots of bull#$^# over here also, but we use ours to feralizer to grow thorns and poision ivy. 

Oh, did I forget to mention that our president is now giving out prison pardons at the end of his term to those who are Republican.

Robert, I'll have to contact Bernard.  He could come to Australia AND do my job while I stay home and make puzzles in the workshop.  Well it sounded good to me!!!  At least my kids would get to know what Dad looked like.

hi guys

are you speaking about me and my holiday job in Utah as cowboy and horseguide ??
I`ll do it this year before the IPP too;
I can recommand that type of holidays  because you are in the nature, no "stupid people" around you just like the "typical tourists with two ore three camcorders and cameras making pictures from everything what is moving" you have dry and warm weather, nice sunsets and absolute quiet in the nights

waht can you get better for holidays ??


all the best
