We've been having a rough time here in the Australian state of Victoria. We're on our sixth Covid hard lockdown, there have been violent anti-vax demonstrations in Melbourne in the last couple of days, and yesterday we had an earthquake (unusual in Australia, which is not especially earthquake- prone). This one happened to be the strongest recorded in Australia in several centuries. This comment says it all :

Clapping is literally hitting yourself because something entertained you.

An old, blind Marine wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?' The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, 'Before you tell that joke I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things: 1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat. 2. The bouncer is a blonde girl. 3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate. 4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter. 5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler. Now, think about it seriously, do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?' The blind Marine thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, 'No...not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.'

That flower is from the Crotalaria cunninghamii plant, a legume native to Australia.....just in case anyone wants to know. Isn't it unique?
