Naughty dog (on a back window)

There are a couple of memories to be offered as background to this post.

First up, in 1981 we lived in Denver, Colorado where the car number plates showed a green silhouette of the Front Range.
About the time we arrived some entrepreneur established that only about 10,000 of the States population of about 2 million had actually been born and bred there.  And they were pretty antsy about the newcomers (especially those from Texas -of which more below) mucking up their State.  So he made bumper stickers referencing the number plate design with the word 'Native' on them, as below.
He must have got some good marketing advice  to the effect that you make more money selling to 1,990,000   folk because other stickers started appearing for "Non-Native"; "Semi-Native" - not sure about that one; and "Restless Native" for members of the 10k who wanted to move to somewhere with less Texans.  The Australian group we were with included an artist who promptly designed a similar image for IMPORT, and got it printed on tee shirts which we wore with pride.

The second memory is of an ABC TV program "The Big Gig".  In a very early episode - possibly the first a stand up comedian Glynn Nicholas introduced a character a character called Pate Biscuit who told a yarn, in the style of Patsie Biscoe on kiddies TV, about a naughty fish.  Said fish was a White Pointer and it duly ate a few folk.

That is enough background for a while.

The business about bumper stickers was to establish a background to the phenomenon in Australia of people putting stick figures in the back window of their car to reflect their family composition.  This is a typical example: I suspect from other things on this car the guy was a fireman so the pumping weight bit is probably a fair call. As far as I know the dog depicted here is not naughty!
There have started to be spin offs as evidenced by this Star Wars set.  I presume the mini -Darth Vader represents a 13 year old (of either sex).
This car obviously belongs to some folk who have just started up in the parent business
 However the next is the one that started me off on this post.  For anyone outside Australia who doesn't understand it, I suggest you either


Now that's a naughty dog!

Here is a Good Dog checking, as requested by me, for rodents in one of our sheds.
I promised you a little more about Coloradan's views on Texans.  Note that this was well before Dubya came to power.  As well as many colourful comments I liked the commercially marketed :
  • Bumper Sticker "Texans are living proof that the Apache screwed buffalo"; and 
  • a Tee shirt for sale in Aspen "If God had meant Texans to ski he'd have coloured bullshit white".
Seeing as we have descended to rudeness I saw this ute at traffic lights:
It was tough to get an image in focus but it reads "Honestly nobody gives a flying F@#k about your family".  Which seems to sum up the situation rather well.

A tour of the West (part 1)

Image
A friend from my time in the UN sent me some photos of her family trip along Route 66.  They did this is a large camperwagon rather than a Chevy Corvette (apparently the kids jacked up about being offered a trip in the trunk).  It seems to have been a very good trip for them and most interesting to see their photos.  It was also educational for me, as I found out the German for rocking chair (schaukelstuhl, since you ask). They did 7200 miles in 30 days - a pretty serious bit of distance. This made me think of the trips we did in 1981 when living in Denver.  Frances initiated that idea by getting a book about the National Parks of the West  and marking interesting places.  I then worked out a route on a Rand-McNally Road Atlas (GPS was unknown then  - as were iPhones, personal computers and the internet).  From memory, taking nearly the whole Summer school holidays we covered about 10,000 miles in 70 days.  Here, approximately,  are our routes: That map comes from Google Maps (G

Insects from pine trees

Image
This afternoon (13/1/2015) we were looking out of our sunroom and noticed a strange bit of mist.  On getting my binoculars on the case I found it to be a cloud of tens of thousand of insects.  They appeared with naked eye to be flying away, but with binoculars I thought they were circling. Here are some images In the second one it may be possible to see there are two streams coming from the top of each tree. There was a loud buzzing noise but that could just be several thousand wings. Earlier in the day Frances had been to some nearby willows and they were infested with many little black soft bodied insects.  Perhaps they shifted to the pines and were swarming? Help!! Any information welcome. A colleague, from Wamboin, had noticed a similat phenomenon, but involvng eucalypts rather than pines!  Here are the photos he took with his phone. I have consulted some expert friends.   Their responses were: I would have gone for chironomids. I recall years ago driving al

Maslins beach rules

Image
Anyone who was in Adelaide in the 1970s will be having a good nudge nudge at that title.  However the beach is really nice even though it is the haunt (in Summer ) of naked people.  (As an aside one of the 'van park staff was talking to some other guests and commented that the sights on the beach in Summer were not at all exciting.)  In April it is the haunt of seniors, many of them exercising their dogs, and thus a far more attractive place. Getting to the beach was a walk of about 1km along roads, from our van.  The second half of this went past a rather daggy looking paddock with many formed ridges in it, as though it was irrigated, although a water sources wasn't evident.  The paddock got interesting towards the end as some green parrots appeared.  Thanks to Frances eye for detail we have subsequently identified these as Elegant Parrots: my first lifer for 2014.    The locale is indicated by the red lines in this mudmap: Here are the birds: The view from the top of
