Uh, yes. Yes, you are. It's okay though Des. My ancient mother does the same thing. "Things are so expensive nowadays. How can anyone afford to buy it on $2 per week wages?" "Well, actually mum, people earn more than that now. A lot more." "Oh yes, of course they do. I still don't know how anyone can pay $1 per day for car insurance when they earn only $2 per week." Bart sighs, deeply, knowing that one day, mum will ask him how he got into the house and who he is. :(

We've got water issues here too. However since you seem the domestic sort, can you come over and clean for me?

WBMS, that will depend on what you want me to clean.My partner fell about the floor laughing when I told him you thought I was domesticated.Then He added "I wish." He can get his own supper. Our water situation is quite serious. We may have to import food.Hell, its not as if the various doomsayers have not been warning governments for the last ten years. Anyone want to pass some of their water onto us Aussies? Oh no, what have I said?

Maybe you guys can come grab some of our snow pack. It is the heaviest in many decades, and if it all starts to melt quickly in the summer heat, we may have our worset flooding in recorded history. Normally we'd be having quite the melting right now, and that's bad enough, but it's STILL snowing at the upper levels. This is not actually a reverse direction of global warming either. In the past, it seems, that warming has actually caused ice ages, due to increased precipitation. I don't know the time span from warming to snow, but it's probably lots longer than my lifespan.
