Was driving on the highway next to and behind  the Google Streetview car for about 10 minutes today.  I'm going to have to check and see if I make the update,  they got me once at my old coffee shop in the parking lot

I didn't go for my afternoon walk after work along the foreshore in case there was a tsunami.

I don't usually go though life actively fearing tsunamis but today I did.

That one's not ours. That one's in Sydney I think.

Even the council are now taking the micky out of themselves with an instragram vs reality meme on FB :laugh:

Judging by the size of the people and surroundings, the tree on the right looks like it's about three times taller than the left. It appears to be a at least six stories high. I don't think I've ever been in the presence of a singular tree that large.  :orly:

Some kind of market around here today, with lots and lots of people. I hate people.

It's one of the pre-existing 100% real Norfolk Pines that have been growing there for like 50 years. A few have been removed over the years due to remodelling of the surrounding town square but that's one of the ones left.
Yes I know it's difficult to decorate a real tree neatly/symmetrically but it looks like they just lassoed the lights onto it.
The council formerly had a fake one that looked like the first picture but the mayor sacked the wrong people and the ex-staff won't tell the council where it's stored :laugh:

Even with my leg brace, my ankle still hurts -__-
