Semi and I would both be interested in this and any application it may have to our theatre -- although to be fair, I haven't actually read past the headline bits yet -- dunno the theatre would come at 15000 speakers but.

Again!
Due to both my circumstance and my general inclination -- I took the train to Hurstbridge the other day and discovered something I hadn't previously encountered.
It seems to be a cracker -- a train cannot proceed up the track without a "token" -- and there is only one token for the line so it single streams trains on single tracks.
Seems to be very boolean 'cos that's what it is!
I reckon Auffers and Semi would love to see this in action (unless they have already in which case -- I'm just slower than most (which shouldn't surprise anyone really)
Thanks Grandma.

Reading this at the moment, by jingo it's an absolute cracker -- apparently available in soft-cover from the Melbourne museum for about $A20. Just buy it!
Thanks Grandma

Those of you who know me may know I've slightly re-located north due to renovations at the normal mansion -- expect a few interesting observations (or not)
I never knew about this and I've already investigated the initial siding -- and am intending to walk the rest of the siding in the next week. Grandma reckons that there's still something left of the old terminal but haven't seen it yet.

Whilst I haven't yet downloaded the podcasts, the supporting documentation is interesting. -- Semi, I reckon you'd like this if you haven't come across it to date.

Went here yesterday to check it out for my staff Christmas party this year. Very much well worth a look!

TramTown seems to be mostly silent these days but I couldn't let the passing of one of history's greatest men go unnoticed. Norman Borlaug is quoted as saying "You can't build a peaceful world on empty stomachs and human misery". He committed himself to a peaceful world by making sure many hungry people were fed. Go read about him at the links above.

Lactic Acid Is Not Muscles' Foe, It's Fuel.
Would that have changed your training regime, Jack?
BTW, happy father's day!
