THE MAN WHO SUED GOD

This was an OK Australian film that poked fun at religion and belief. The premise is that if god causes 'acts of god' then god or his representatives on earth, the church, are responsible and should pay for damages. If god is not responsible for 'acts of god' then it presupposes that god doesn't exist.

Silly? Yes but it raises interesting points of logic.

Today I read of some Americans who are suing the US Forest Service because a dead tree fell on their son while they were camping.

This begs the question of when individual responsibility for actions and ends and when the state is responsible for everything that we do. I know that in the USA people want to sue over just about anything but this story beggars belief.

DAISY, DAISY

....Give me your answer do....

We bought a tandem kayak from the neighbours.

It's in very good condition and came with paddles, the seats and a fishing rod holder. I'll have to go out and catch some snapper.

The Old Girl and I took it out on Monday for a trial. It's very stable and rides well. We went around the island in the bay and headed back along the beach line.
From the island to the beach I sat in the back and didn't paddle, letting the Old Girl do all the work. After a while she looked behind her and asked what I was doing. Actually she said "What the hell are you doing Matey?". I quickly came up with "I was just admiring the rippling muscles in your back my love". I think that sufficed but I'd better be careful about using that excuse too much.
