"another northern winter", but the warmest one in many-man-woman-memories.
Just yesterday the little snow which fell in the morning melted away, again.

it saves most of the most-expensive-ever-heating-oil that I have ever bought.

What is better is tht I will be, maybe even severily punished, if I use oil to heat my out-house and the rest of the house after 5-7 years.

Thus decided our overhelming majority multi-party government, not even our conservatives managed to say something stupid against this basic operation of energy taxes and education.

PS they got badly burnt when they started to talk about privatizing, liberating, our educational system, about and around the same times NZ went totally neo-liberally haywire.
Now they do their libertarian best to forget those times although NZ seems to have survived in PISA-education.

PPS Just think about it, if you would have had a common-sense-center-party in those silly neoliberal hay and straw days and years..

PPPS I have been trying to hear some really god jokes about it, those silly times, in the NZ parliament, but I know that humor was recently banned in any parliamentary communications of your parliament, at the same time that it became broadcasted on internet.

However, I have heard and even seen some signs that Ayn Rand had some humor, although clearly Helen has at least three times more.

However-however, why is your parliament screaming and shouting like those monkeys in the UK house of commons??
(note, our monkeys are having a great winter in our zoos, they are really happy this sub-prime winter, just like me)

It has been many winnters now
or
No to conspiracy theories

One thing really recommended FADG and that was the absence of conspiracy theories.
The last post Fault Line made was to you and it was about the H5N1 virus.
This post here was your last post to Ken I think, at least publicly.
No conspiracy theories here though, I suspect he would have replied if he could've.
Here we are many years later and a pandemic has finally arrived.
For many, it hasn't actually arrived, they have found a conspiracy to deal with each fact .
That all the conspiracies contradict each other is great.
Information is information.
The less it means the more it could mean.
Information is perfect fodder for any conspiracy.
The more connections a piece of information has the better it is.
Do you remember Q from Star Trek? I am just asking mind you.
Q has become a very popular letter, it is well connected.
And of course the end is near and the rich are offering safety to the poor.

I suppose it is not necessary to point out the great prestige that your nom de plume has gained.
Many many people know that you are probably a scion of Q and have the same powers.
They will have to review the old tapes to find out what you can actually do.
While they are their they will learn that Kirk's middle name was never Tiberius as claimed.
The Deep State saw the danger of a character named James R. Kirk (R comes after Q).and
They acted quickly to bury that truth and renamed him Tiberius, James T. Kirk.
I am going to say Qualcomm several times here to stay on topic and relevant.
Each time I say Qualcomm I am invoking the power of Q.
Jian Ghomeshi had a show called Q.
It was very popular in Canada.
Jian turned out to be the S side of an S/M thing so that threw shade on his radio show.
Actually it threw a lot of shade because the Ms would not cooperate and say they were Ms.
They claimed he was just an S who, without consent, treated them like they were an M during sex.
The age of P came before this whole Q era.
I like to think the age of P was funnier than the age of Q.
We had p jokes back then, there is no such thing as a q joke.
Take care Mqurice and let us know if you hear from Ken, it could happen.
