Geeze, Alison, I figured if I just shipped my thoughts off in your direction they'd reach all Oz! I've only had time to scan messages but wanted to express support to all. >>I seem to have about 50 per cent success with chicks. I'd be happy with that ;) - Frank -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc provides a venue for a dialogue relating to poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Alison Croggon Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 10:37 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: New Year with fire Thanks for the thoughts, Frank, but I should say I'm hundreds of miles away, in Melbourne, where it is currently raining. I have friends in Sydney, but they're ok. These fires happen every few years, and they're usually worth a headline or two; when they're in Victoria my family in England usually thinks we're out there battling the firestorm because of the alarming news pictures. Since December 21, about 50 people have died in road accidents, but it doesn't seem to create the same sort of stir: maybe that's just the normal blood sacrifice to the Great God Holden. Hope your pee wees survive, Chris! I seem to have about 50 per cent success with chicks. Best Alison
