Trav, I think you'll be in trouble whichever way you spin it.

At daughter's now.  HL drove me, much to daughter's delight.

Temp down to 24 deg but very muggy.

Hopefully a smile for Linda.

G'Day everyone.

Travelled across two bridges to destination and back home now.

To celebrate a "week that was" in 1977.

The birth of a baby one day and remembering the collapse of a bridge

the following day.

Still have to read back here, sometime soon.

Arvo Stawks & Deb,

Stawks, the mouse has a good voice but can't sing quite like Harry Belafonte.

I am going for the story about the baking dishes.

If I am not on tomorrow, there could be a possibility I might be hospital

May be travelling across at least two big bridges tomorrow, too.

To check out some Real Estate.

Was the bridge collapse you mentioned, the Hobart one ?

Sorry, too cryptic for me and I'm too tired to work on it.

But the Tasman Bridge sounds about right.  

The Tasman Bridge is one scary bridge for me.

Same as the Westgate Bridge.   Hate travelling over either.

All these bridges

Firstly I was reminded of Troubled Waters - then :

All those Burning Bridges from - Kelly's Heros.

Hope it works out Deb. 

Far too hot a day to enjoy - even fanning the pooch.

Stay Cool everyone,

Granville Bridge?

The Granville rail/train disaster occurred on Tuesday 18 January 1977 at Granville, New South Wales, a western suburb of Sydney when a crowded commuter train derailed, running into the supports of a road bridge that collapsed onto two of the train's passenger carriages. It remains the worst rail disaster in Australian history and the greatest loss of life in a confined area post war: 84 people died, more than 213 were injured, and 1,300 were affected.

Biggest Great White Shark On Record

Perhaps the last thing you want to see while in the ocean is a great white shark. For divers in Hawaii, it may have been an incredible discovery.

A group of divers near Oahu were monitoring tiger sharks feeding off a decomposed sperm whale when they encountered a giant great white shark, reports The Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

Ocean Ramsey, one of the divers who studies sharks, told The Star-Advertiser that, based on the shark's size and markings, the shark may be Deep Blue, one of the largest great whites on record.

"I’m without words; it’s heartwarming; she’s probably the most gentle great white I’ve ever seen," Ramsey told The Star-Advertiser.

A 2014 feature on Deep Blue created by Discovery said the shark is the largest great white ever filmed, measuring more than 20 feet and believed to be at least 50 years old. The Smithsonian says the average female great white shark measures between 15-16 feet, while males measure between 11-13 feet.

Ramsey told The Star-Advertiser she believes the shark is also pregnant. 

On Wednesday, diver Mark Mohler said in a post on Instagram he and fellow diver Kimberley Jeffries confirmed the identity of the shark as Deep Blue.
