Hats, Holidays and Halitosis
It was that time of the year again when I wandered off on holiday; usually somewhere up or down the coast. This year it was to Rainbow Beach which used to be a quiet, secluded part of the Queensland coastline but has recently seen much more development. I will miss the innocence of these places in Australia. There used to be literally hundreds of undeveloped areas of coastline and now with the ability to make lots of moolah, Queensland's coastline will mimic the tourist destinations of the rest of the world. That is, they will be filled with overweight, pasty people frying themselves in the hot Australian sunshine. Most of us like the tourist dollars but still manage to suffer from Nimby Syndrome. (Not In My Back Yard)
Even though it is winter here, hat wearing, or at least cap wearing is recommended. The mornings might be crisp and cool, but the sun is unrelenting and will fry many an unsuspecting tourist to a crisp before they can say, "Oh, how Cuuutteeeeee." In the typical Australian way of seeing the positive in a potentially dire situation, the response to "What do you think of global warming?" is likely to be " Well, now the sausages will cook themselves." Potentially this leaves Australian men more time at the BBQ to do what they do best - holding a stubbie of beer in two hands instead of one. ;)
So where does the halitosis fit in? Well, after 4 glasses of champagne, 2 glasses of red wine and a steak the size of a cricket pitch, YOU wake up the next day and smell your own breath. (Too much information probably.)
Anyway, watch the video and have a glimpse of the Queensland coast.

Lovely photos, Beep.
But it's cold down here at this end of the country.
Queensland's coastline will mimic the tourist destinations of the rest of the world.
Sad that. I live in Florida. I feel your pain.
thanks dikki, I am still getting used to the new camera... hard to compose with it.
It was kind of cold here too, but mainly in the mornings and late at night

Yeah, we all seem to have the same problem. I would prefer a lot of the coastline here to remain natural and low impact.. the chances of that happening are minimal.
Hi! I finally subtitled it!!!

Good for you mate :)
The beach scenes totally remind me of Robinson Crusoe. As if... but still.
For whatever reason (high sugar content?) wine seems to me to be the worst of the halitosificators. Not just in me, be, well, let's just say I kinda cringe when a date (me? dating? lol? Not!) suggests she'd like to partake. Too bad, too. There're a few blends I've really come to like (Shiraz or Merlot mixed w/ Cabernet, for ex.) And South East Down Under has some of the best of 'em, IMO.
Great pics, but damn...all those Discovery Channel shows here have ruined me by making me equate "Queensland Coast" with "very painful deadly box jellyfish stings that make me never want to go near an Aussie beach, at least not in the water."
Great site, though...just found it on a link from Not Your Mama's blog at Coyote Angry....
If things work out as planned I may be visiting your country next year. There is a sea turtle biology convention to be held there.
This video is beautiful and the music is just damned outstanding. I didn't catch the name of the band but I sure do love it.
Our coasts here in Florida are being walled in with big tall condos. It's a sin of sorts.
Oops, I was wrong, the trip is year after next.
Here in New England, we've run out of coastline for the rich and the commercial interests to glom, so they are turning their attention to the lakes. Families that have held summer cottages for four generations can no longer afford the taxes on their now inflated properties. One by one, they are forced to sell to the rich and superfluous. Bitter? Nah! I hope your government grabs a few big chunks for national parks or wildlife preserves before it's all gone.

Ours is an envionment where evil is perceived to be rewarded while good is punished. As with everything the Gods have a reason for creating this perception::::
People who fall on the good side of the good/evil scale have more favor, and when they do something wrong the Gods punish them BECAUSE THEY WANT THEM TO LEARN. The Gods want them to receive this feedback in hope they make corrections and begin to behave appropriately. The Gods DON'T like evil and refuse to grant this feedback.
EVERYBODY pays for what they do wrong, only evil people must wait until their next life before they will experience the wrath of the Gods, manifested in their reincarnation as a lower form of life into environments with increased/enhanced temptations.
Sadly, this allows the Gods to position this perception of evil rewarded as temptation, one which they use as an EXTREMELY effective corruptor.
Both Africa and the Medittereanean are regions which have sexual issues. This is a sign of morbid disfavor once you understand that females are the God's favored gender. Muhammad's (Mohammed's) polygamy halfway through his life as a prophet was preditory. Now a huge percentage of Muslims believes in male superiority and that the abuse of women is God's will. Female genital mutilation is still practiced in Africa. Black misogyny is the most eggregious example in the recent past.
Black member size is temptation to a predisposed population.
The patriarchal cancer spread throughout Europe because of Christianity, of which the majority of policy makers were Italian men. Expect the largest landowner in Europe and the continent's original superpower also played a major role in African slavery.
Militancy in Africa is consistant with the Iraqi example, as was slavery and the KKK here in America:::Fear enforces proper behavior. Without it we see what happens as a result of gross/morbid disfavor:::::AIDS, crack babies, dead young men in gangland retaliation killings. This is the purpose behind many black's historical tendancy towards resistance.
The same principle was true in Europe and throughout the world for centuries:::People whom lived under iron fists were conditioned to think the right way. As a result they experienced higher numbers of children accend into heaven because they were taught to think and behave appropriately, which they passed on to their children. Our preditory envionment of "freedom" was the primary purpose the Gods had when implimenting this strategy that is the United States, one which they used to spred the cancer of democracy and westernization throughout the world. And the Gods use this tool that is America to prey on the disfavored both at home and abroad:::Much like the ghetto, America in general experiences a heightened level of temptation due to the people's disfavor.
Even the Old Testiment is not to be taken literally, but the Gods do offer clues throughout to help the disfavored:::The apple is a tool of temptation used to corrupt Adam and Eve and cast them out of the Garden of Eden.
There is another lesson to be learned from this passage, and it is quite similar to the vailing issue and the discourse over women's attire which ultimately died in the 70s:::Women are responsible for and control the fate of mankind.
Think about what I say. Consider what I teach. Society is going to become disturbingly ugly as we approach the Apocalypse due to spiralling, runaway disfavor.
I do not know when this will occurr, but it is the God's way to grant some time before they end on Planet Earth.
Make the decision to always be good and never look back. Until you do this technology will employ tactics to test your resolve:::Ridicule, beligerance, doubt and refusal to abandon what people perceive to be their "investment".
Pray daily. Think appropriately. Too many are confident, unaware of the God's awesome powers or their status as antients. Others may fall prey to their positioning.
Be humbled, God-fearing and beware of the God's temptations, for everyone is tested to evaluate their worthiness.
