The Beverly Hillbillies go to Town

We're off to the ' big smoke' tomorrow morning. Our daughter is having heart surgery.

We'll be away for up to two weeks. Blogging will be slow during this time unless we come across an easily accessible internet cafe. Which isn't likely. We're staying at Ronald McDonald house. Last time we were there they were talking about getting Internet facilities. I wouldn't be holding your breath.

Now, to give you some insight, we live in a very remote part of Australia, once or twice a year we come to Sydney. Even thou we we're both brought up in large cities, we find it quite a shock to the system. This sounds crazy but we're lucky to talk to 5 people a week. Then all of a sudden , its information overload.

The last time Mum, Dad and the girls went to Sydney , the girls made quite a scene, They got so incredibly excited!

They saw something we never see where we live. They saw a Felis silvestris catus , now you might see one of these every day where you live. Where we live you never see them.

Right: Always waited for the second edition, but never found one.

For two of the girls it was the first time they had actually ever seen one of these creatures.

This might give you an insight into just how remote we live.

Now I'm no fan of Animal cruelty, but neither am I a fan of Felis silvestris catus , to me they epitomize the concept of an inwardly spiraling, ego centric version of a black hole, never letting anything that matters escape, consuming vast loads of passing debris and basically as friendly as a gravitational time warp, to a passing spaceship.

Right: Ar.. nothing more romantic than a Fur rung in front of the fire place

To the numerous other Jewish bloggers who love and cherish their Felis silvestris catus , that's great but no need to blog about it every day.

Anyway thats a few cats of my chest.

My better half insisted on washing the car today. Seems that when were going on a trip to the big smoke, she likes to make out were not Beverly Hillbillies.

Now for those that live as remote as we do, and have never watched television as children, or in Jack Shacks case as an still active retiree, [that's two cheap shots now Jack, here's the first] , anyway to see the Beverly Hillbillies.[look above]

Now you might ask, why wasn't it me to get out and polish the former chariot of an Arabic Sheik? Well we live on a dirty, dusty dirt road, and its hot and dry right now, - the answer shall come fairly quickly.

Right: Even in Color! The BHB's go all sophisticated

My wife has spent the better part of the afternoon polishing the rims, doing the Karate kid version of Wax on ,wax off, Wax on wax off.

The car looks fabulous.

My wife asked me, don't you remember what happen last time we went to Sydney and polished the car?

I looked at her quizzically and said, yeah... it got filthy on the dirt road as we left, and looked the same within 3 minutes as before you washed it.

Apparently this was the incorrect answer.

Apparently the correct answer is we made a good impression on people, and they were fooled into thinking we weren't a rabble of Gumboot wearing, tabacco chewing country hicks lost after taking a wrong turn.

Oh.. the other thing, apparently when you get that question as wrong as I did, you don't get nice sandwiches and coffee in a thermos made for the very long drive. You get the ' Well if your not going to be nice, you can eat air, look instead.'

Now I mentioned that we drive the former Chariot of an Arab Sheik, and I'm a little worried that people might think we drive a Rolls Royce.

Now I just want to clear it up, We don't drive a Rolls Royce.

We drive one of those rather enormous electric window gas guzzling limited editions that you can't park anywhere.

Now the reason why I know a Arab Sheik drove it, is because it was built before the Western world discovered that petroleum was a finite resource.

I figure, you have to be a Sheik to want to drive this car considering the amount of petrol [gas] it uses.

I've asked the local Petrol Station guy if he could get me a longer fuel hose for the Bowser.

He looked at me quizzically, and, then I said I could just leave it in the car's petrol tank and just drive around save me filling it up all the time. He just laughed, with that kind of smile you get from some one, who you're helping pay their rent.

Anyway its getting late and Jethro has to drive to the big smoke in the morning, nightie nightie fellow bloggers.

I hope some one misses me.

2 weeks away froim Blogger arrrrrrrrrrr....
