Reasons to be cheerful

A drug dealer and their family face consequences of benefiting from ill gotten gains, courts not mucking around now.

Serious jail time (considering they are average Joe’s who won’t enjoy jail at all) for climate nutters. Clear message sent protest but don’t do it this way.

That's "Anarcho-socialist" to you, fascist scum.

Time for some optimism.

We have no post war landmines in our nation.
We are pretty tolerant in that most people can air their views without physical harm
We have no reason to seek refugee status.
We can safely drink (for most part) running water from any stream/river.
We are welcome in pretty much every other nation on earth if we travel.
We can ride our motorbikes in any direction for couple hours and find somewhere semi decent for a steak and bourbon.

While that was once true, it just isn't now. In my youth and young manhood I spent a fair bit of time in the wilds of the south island kayaking. We didnt think twice and drank water from whatever river we were in. as the 90's clocked over to the 2000's we stopped. Basically the onslaught of dairy farming meant it was too chancy. One of my friends got cryptospiridium and was really fucking ill. That was either a paddling trip or an adventure race.

The flatter the countryside and the more intensely developed it is, the less you should be drinking the water.

Anyway, its a very good example of how profits are privatised and costs are socialised, particularly environmental costs. I could go on. I would say you would get the idea but let's face it, you're not that guy.

I still don't trust it given the smell of shit when you ride over the Shotover Bridge.

i struggle to understand why it never had a UV set up in the first place?

Yet another example of the inability of local councils to manage water supplies.

It's cold but dry so I am off for a ride with a couple of mates soon.

20km on the bicycle. All training. Aim to be on a real bike by the new year.

Bought a new van. Intention to ride dirtbikes and Trials again.

Every day above ground is another day to want to ride motorbikes.

I was out today. A bit cold at first, but good to be riding. The R1 runs well when it's cooler.
