12-2 sucks

It's official. While Darrell and I managed with the 12-2 time difference, it really sucks when trying to keep up with friends back home. Bah humbug.

Meanwhile, here are a few photos from a trip D and I took up the coast a bit. HAIL! I never equated subtropical Australia with hail...but there it is.
When it hails, and people ask about snow and I start explaining different types of snow and how very little of it is really like hail people seem fairly surprised. Just as I am that it hails in sub-tropical Australia.
