The smoke over Melbourne drives home that fires are roaring out of control in Canberra, the capital of Australia: four people are dead, and four hundred houses have already been destroyed. While train journeys in Melbourne are not, traditionally, exactly what you would call little pockets of joy and merriment and delight (people preferring instead to stare ahead sombrely), well, normally there's some life. funkwit.com /archive/entry?entrydate=9422   (580 words)
