Poor thing. Any pajero should die as Pajeros die: rust and failing high pressure fuel pumps for diesels

I like how they think the doors didn’t open because the electrics “failed” but those same failed electrics let the windows open.

No...water pressure kept your doors from opening. lol

That’s a painful photo. I’d be heartbroken to wake up to find my parking garage looking like that.

Does this mean the fires are out?  I lost track with the coronavirus now dominating the disaster-news-cycles.

Such is the fickle nature of corporate reporting maintaining a stranglehold over what pertinent information actually reaches your home.

This hot spot map should be informative enough.

Whoa. It’s completely out of the news cycle up here. Thanks for posting that.

CNN seems much more interested in certain politicians’ stool samples this week , which apparently they’ve found traces of either Russian dressing or Chicken Kiev in. One of those, but I’m sure it’s really, really important.

I’ve re-read your reply three times now and it just keeps getting funnier. Going to leave that cubicle bound, water cooler topic fueling, circumstance of national importance alone.

A more thorough search (Australian ABC or Channel 7 for instance) might turn up a better set of maps with more insight towards daily changes and severity. Taal is another news item that fell by the wayside.

So, was it really raining that much recently in QL, even as fires are burning all over?  That’s just weird.

For some reason I always read NSW as NSFW.

I’ll leave the on the ground reporting to the Australians here (in the US) who can provide a much greater amount of subtly and accuracy to describing the severity of drought and locality of flooding.

Yep...all the big fires are done.

Basically, the flooding rains (due to what   we know as an East coast low combining with a surface trough of moist tropical air) along the eastern seaboard   put the fires out. The drought west of the Great Divide remains unbroken...dented but unbroken.

Probably because the Mazda is just another number?
