Now that I think about it I seem to remember that during my short stay in Australia while I was sharing a house with a bunch of young girls and guys that lived and worked in the area, that someone made me a special sandwich, and just before I took a bit someone jumped up and took it away from me. It did not make sense to me because unlike the typical American who delights to play jokes on another, I found those of Australia to be very mild and unagressive. Except when the guys play that football type game called rugby where they all bunch up and push against each other and then someone throws a ball into the mass of legs... man, they play with such seriousness and determination and energy...you think the losers were to be be-headed. So anyway, I never did eat that sandwich and figured that it contained something like extra hot peppers. Could have been that vegemite. Was there about 1 and 1/2 years, 1970-1971 couple months in Sydney, then 8 months in Canberra, then 6 months in Melborne, and back to Sydney and Canberra. I remember now, that Sydney big unusual music building thats right next to the water was under construction when I was there. doug
