Event Happy New Years!

Condolences. Non-pet people don't understand how hard a choice that is, even when it is best for them.

 

Just wishing Sly an exciting New Years....

 

I think that most people here in the States don't have a real grasp of how bad things are down there. I was listening to the NSW RFS (New South Wales, Rural Fire Service) last night on the scanner. Those guys were 100 percent scared about people possibly getting killed from all of it. Sounds like a couple did. I hope you're safe now.....

 

3 People have been confirmed dead is the last I have heard.
@DUB Stay safe, hoping the best for you guys.

 

Edit: Just to be clear, I am aware that a calendar decade really begins on the year with the number 1 (so 2021 will officially start the new decade), but that nonsense is for bean counters like @PtldPlatypus.

 

Thanks for your thoughts guys. I’m safe for now , but everyone has to remain vigilant on certain days, during certain conditions. It barely rained anywhere last year, so everything is bone dry, and once fires start they spread fast, and are extremely hard to contain. Multiple people have died in multiple states, and hundreds of homes have been destroyed. This is the worst bushfire season I can remember, it’s not even half over, and it’s only going to get worse in coming years.

 

Yawn.

 

I think technically the new decade starts next year.

 

Yessssssssssssssss!!!!!!!’

F U 2019

 

glad you stayed up to share.

 

Happy New year. My dog hates the fireworks. He's all settled now.

 

My first tasks of the new year, culling my recipe file, and deciding on a pattern for my next knitting project.

 

This was posted by someone that lives down there. It's a pretty powerful picture. Stating the obvious for people that don't know- koalas are wild animals. This one came out and seeked protection from the firefighter with the hose.....
