Here Xmas is in December, which is in summer. Temperatures of 35C (90F) are not uncommon. Most Aussies are over the hot Xmas lunch. Cold buffets are the thing. Sis and I will begin with a prawn (shrimp) salad,  then cold Turkey, ham and a bunch of salads. Desert is hot (store bought) individual Xmas puddings, served with the best quality vanilla ice cream I can get my hands on. Can't be arsed making more than couple of side dishes.  Neither of us possess the appetite or the digestive system we once did. 

Growing up I saw snow once; in the Adelaide Hills, it was a patch about 6 feet across. Have seen snow falling once;  In the Italian Alps in 1985.

Just to show how perverse Australia can be; The Australian Alps receive more snow than  Switzerland.

"Not only does it snow but we get more snow than Switzerland does in an average year. The spectacular and distinctive Australian Alps extend over 1.6 million hectares of public land contained in eleven national parks and nature reserves across Victoria, New South Wales, and the Australian Capital Territory."

If only all of the psychos were like United States of Tara where one of her personalities was a therapist.

They brought in a dog, before a person of color!?!

I'm reasonably confident that the Exodus never happened. That suggests that Moses never existed.

Having said that, I read somewhere the burning bush might have been a creosote  bush which caught fire. Surely Moses would have been familiar with such a thing?  

Seeing as we're discussing Moses; The good brothers who taught me claimed that "The Red Sea" which Moses divided was actually "The Reed Sea" and no more than six feed deep. Apparently god sent a wind, which pushed it back far enough for the Israelites to escape. Over the years, they came up with some beauties.

Creosote bush is not indigenous to the Middle East.

Oh, obviously, I didn't know that. Back to the old drawing book on that topic. Can we take it that if Moses had existed that he was a  complete nutter? Along with people generally to whom god/ the virgin Mary / saints/ demons etc etc spoke.

Man speaks to god he's pious/ a  moron etc.  God speaks back, he's nuts.

Except that creosote bushes are native to the desert Southwest of the USA.

Wait!  Then it fits in with the Mormon nonsense!  Who knew!
