For those 'heading for the hills', this plot of sea levels at a coastal station in Chile may be of interest.




Looks quite different to what I would have thought.

* No initial drop (the usual first indication of a tsunami at the actual coast is that the 'tide' goes way, way out; shown classically in the Japanese and Indonesian tsunamis)

If you ever notice the tide suddenly going out, anywhere, anytime, run like hell to higher ground.

* First surge significantly smaller than most of the following

The timing of the quakes were:

Size time
8.3 0
6.1 +9m
6.4 +22m
7.0 +24m
7.0 +24m
6.4 +2H50m
6.5 +5h
6.7 +5H10m

Some very interesting analysis coming up, (but not by me!)

Rumor mill this morning, the guys that refuel the aircraft in Perth are planning to strike AFL grand final weekend unless their demands are met.

A ballot is being held in the next few days, but expected to be 100% for strike action

Between clazman and cove we will be able to fuel up our own planes. I have been practising twice a month on my car.

Interesting...but I never use the long term car park these days. I prefer a private park because (1) it's undercover and (2) it's quicker as in the past I've found the buses take too long to get around and (3) it's the same price.

Do we know the name of the company with the fridge?

And what sort of business they are in ? Looks like funny business to me :shock:

Bl**** Rex.Combined carryon came to 8.5kg so forced to check one as over the 7kg limit which then put checked luggage over so an extra $14.

Meanwhile at the next counter fellow with only 1 carryon weighing 10kg is allowed to take that on with no cost.

Advertising agency in London called Karmarama.

I think I've earned something from the category of the top shelf today. Just finished what should've been a simple job, with correspondingly low fee, after about 7 hours. Thoroughness was the killer.

Interesting work fridge.

With Budweiser the beer to choose from , honesty is not required.

They thought you could afford to pay extra?

If the Crows win from here I'll wslk naked to Darwin!
I did say from the outset I'm going for Hawthorn.
I always go for the underdog.

At least there is some good coming out of it then.

Gee I only backed the Hawks to win by 43 - was way off

Nor soccer fans. Nor Collingwood ferals. They wont be angry. They were beaten fair and square. Disappointed obviously but proud they got so far.

Hawks were back to their best. Watch out WA teams.
