On sorting through a bunch of old tapes finding which are OK – Crosby Stills Nash.

Good words from Graham Nash (album: “Daylight Again” (1982))
“Wasted On The Way”
Look around me
I can see my life before me
Running rings around the way it used to be
I am older now
I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started long before I did
And there’s so much time to make up everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way
So much water moving underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away
Oh, when you were young
Did you question all the answers
Did you envy all the dancers who had all the nerve
Look around you now
You must go for what you wanted
Look at all my friends who did and got what they deserved
…So much love to make up everywhere you turn
Love we have wasted on the way
So much water moving underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away…
(PS If you are making home or movie shorts, a twisted tape of Elton John makes really good horror-monster noises.)

Poof poof ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
What moving staff have to be paid more? Is this as a result of supply and demand and so many PMC moving from Wellington (rats leaving sinking ship) that moving staff have to be found to shift their chattels, swanky furniture etc, as they look for a cheaper house somewhere to put it?

‘Aboot’ present reality. End of the species probable in our lifetime.
Footnotes and quibbles on Left blogs. Present comfort fats out our brains like our enemies.
Such foul suffering to come very shortly, but not shortly like WW ll. So… Hell up soon.
No criticism of Martyn on this point, he does what I want all our leaders to do.
Doing it for ourselves – what we can afford.
The Bob Semple tank (sometimes referred to as Big Bob) was a light tank designed by New Zealand Minister of Works Bob Semple during World War II. Originating out of the need to build military hardware from available materials, the tank was built from corrugated iron on a tractor base.
